That may be our crew: we are traveling west from Brownsville to Tijuana,
interviewing people that live along the border with the ultimate goal of
trying to put a more human face on the immigration debate. If you go to our
blog you will see our mobile base camp:  an 87 Westfalia. We are currently
in Ciudad Juarez (a little scary), which is to say we're roughly half way.
The testament to our trip are the videos that we have uploaded to the site,
which will be navigable by an interactive map when we finish designing it.
What continues to amaze me is that we are a company of 3, crossing back and
forward across the border, shooting, editing, uploading, cooking, sleeping
and generally living happily in a single, incredibly well designed vehicle.
(we upload from hotel parking lots with wifi and we edit with a power
inverter that supplies the laptop with power from the car). When we reach
TJ, I plan to post photos of some of the Westy's greatest moments, of which
there have already been many.

note: Internet Explorer 6 does not load but 7, Firefox, Safari and Camino
do.
Let us know what you think!
