We all had a good nights sleep last night after being up almost 24 hours. Hannah and Emily cooked pancakes, bacon, eggs, potatoes and fruit for breakfast! (It was fantastic-thanks).
Today, we went to the border to view the wall and beach area. We also went downtown for shopping and lunch. After breakfast the light rain stopped and the sun has been out the rest of the day. Temp is in the low 60's which feels good for all of us!!!
While visiting the wall we talked to Dan from friendshippark.org A group was there working on the garden which is on both sides of the border. He said that they will be replacing the wall with a larger one probably this year. He also said that they had used bulldozers to eliminate the garden on the USA side. But after the political backlash, they were able to re-establish the garden on the USA side. There didn't seem to be as many people at the border or downtown this year. We are not sure why this is?
