Olman 2006: 22 and 2

My poor family deserves more!
I’m leaving for that good-paying roofing work in Texas tomorrow..

Twenty-two days of walking; rickety school buses; coyotes;
La Bestia; crossing hot, blistering, cold-at-night desert.
Siguatepeque to Nuevo Laredo …
and more coyotes.

Two hours in San Antonio.
¡Pinche putos cabrones!
¡¡¡La migra!!!

Back to Honduras the next day.

………………….

It is a bull shit world!

  1. Paul,

    I’m so grateful to have seen this. I heard Sonia Nasaro speak several years ago, read her book, Enrique’s Journey, later met many women who had come up on La Bestia. Still, this is the very best coverage I’ve seen. I’m trying to figure out when they made it. 2018? Thanks so much. Beautiful photography, heart-breaking need.

    I can’t ride the train this year, not now anyway. But I’ll probably not jump a freight, because the Canadian border is closed.

    Sylvia
