A wall, the last frontier of Latin America

We are slowly experiencing a world every time more vivacious and colored. Traveling along the border, a desolate but nice place where we observed desert dunes, cactus and sleepy hills, we feel a high tension. Every night many people coming from Latin America and China try to cross the border as clandestine. A lot of small frontier towns have risen along the Mexican border, to receive in remote places those who want to try that exploit. On the way we found a lot of roadblocks and our documents and baggages were checked repeatedly. All this could disappear when a wall, which is in construction on the border between united states and Mexico, will be finished. It will divide two worlds, that probably don’t need this further tension factor.

We arrived in Hermosillo (Estado de Sonora) before the sunrise, but when the sun began to shine, the temperature rose too: 35, 45, maybe 50ºC. It became impossible to do anything. During the night, when it got warmer, we went out to take a look: as we expected we met a nice old man, who gave us the directions to reach our next destination, the pacific ocean.
