From 2006 - Mexico 03

I was on a morning walk in Matamoros when these dogs, taking in some sun after a cool night in the high desert, caught my eye.

The fact that this is in the high desert presented a problem for us at first. When we decided to support a minister in Matamoros, we did not know that there are no fewer than 6 or 7 Matamoroses in the country. For our first planned visit we made arrangements to take a long weekend, with just enough time to make the drive there plus visit and fellowship. Unfortunately, the "there" was assumed to be the Matamoros that most everybody thinks about - the one south of Brownsville. Just a day or two before departure we learned that our destination was not that Matamoros but one in the high desert of Coahuila, much further inland. Because of the greater distance all of our plans were scrapped and we added a day to all future visits to accommodate the longer drive.
