    Tough light to shoot in with shade abruptly moving into bright sunlight. Interesting camera puzzle.

    Deni was afraid to go to Mexico. It took some convincing but after it was done she had fun.

                  These images do not represent how crowded the streets were. Tourism is good.

                  This was our first walk across in some time. I expected a much less vibrant scene. It felt good to see not much has changed. Maybe some day we will feel like it's safe to go at night again.

                          Man I always felt like I was at least a little bit Mexican, deep down inside somewhere.

                          Cool pictures.

                              My wife is from Harlingen and we would go across every trip down to see her parents. We would park at Arturo's and walk a good ways in stopping for drinks and nachos a few times along the way. Always wrapped it up at Arturo's for dinner. Havent been in over ten years now. Nice to see it is still the same city. See many gringo's?
