A quick border crossing

I am in El Paso on a brief weekend visit (I haven't been home since Christmas, and I only live 4 hours south!) All the Walgreens, Targets and Wal-Marts have the Easter treats on sale: chocolate bunnies, Peeps, colorful Easter eggs. But this Easter, instead of painting my world in pastels with Easter Mass, Easter brunch in a springtime dress, and a bouquet of daisies on the kitchen table (I am always inspired to buy flowers this time of year), I will watch another cow be sacrificed and eat the cooked meat the following day. I love that I can travel only four hours by car and submerge myself in two completely different cultures and sets of traditions. Actually, three sets of cultures and traditions, since the raramuri way of life is completely different from the chabochi way of life. I love the richness of borders--not only the physical ones, but the metaphorical ones that emerge only because of the existence of the physical border.
