Still in the OPCNM, we’ve enjoyed some great sunsets…

There’s also the frisson of excitement of being on the Mexican border – it’s just a couple of miles away, a fact that you are regularly reminded of with posters warning to be on the lookout for illegal aliens and drug smugglers! Gazing over Mexico from the top of the Ajo mountains, the arbitrary nature of international borders is really brought home – the cacti don’t seem to observe them, but the Americans go to a lot of trouble to maintain their integrity.
