Tweet I get emails from Kayak.com, a travel site. The most recent email offers this cutting edge travel opportunity: Immigration and border patrol seems to be at the top of every political conversation. At Parque Eco Alberto, you can go on a pretend ‘Night Border Crossing Experience.’ The parque is owned by the Hnahnu Indians [...]
