New Correspondent
Meet Robbie Lebovic and Jeaninne! New blog correspondents. They will (God willing) be sending periodic reports from Mexico during a two month road trip. What the hell is actually going on down there? I met Robbie about 25 years ago in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. He has a salmon fishing boat in Alaska. He spends 3 months in Alaska working his ass off and then he travels the world for the rest of the year. The last time I ran into him was in Denver. Since then, we have exchanged an email or letter every few years. He's a cool guy. An authentic adventurer. And his girlfriend is nice, too. When I learned that he would be passing thru the Rio Grande Valley on his way to Oaxaca, I made a point to track him down. Previously on this blog, I have toured mobil homes, Border Patrol trucks, Constable leo's patrol truck, dope hauling trucks, immigrant smuggling rigs, and lots of other wheeled contraptions. Never on this blog (or in my life) have I had the opportunity to go inside one of these hippy style converted school buses... until Robbie and Jeannine rolled into town yesterday.

Good luck to your friend.....I don't know how wise his decision to drive through Mexico is, but i hope that he has a safe trip.
Did you hear from him?
Yes, I did. He said he was in Oaxaca and they had no troubles on their journey. He should be passing back thru on his return. I will get more details.
