Summary
This is the one where it all starts to feel a little too real.
Our last night in the United States is an RV park in McAllen.
Not a big goodbye. Not a moment. Just…sitting there with our last Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza and a quiet sense that we might not fully be ready for what we’re about to do.
We’re trying to get rid of a g*n we absolutely CANNOT take across the border.
We’re making a last-minute decision to bring someone we barely know into the plan. And we’re both pretending we feel more confident than we actually do.
Then we wake up and start driving.
The Mexico border is not what we expected.
Construction at the crossing. Four hours pulled over on the side of the road.
Some maybe not-so-legal paperwork shenanigans.
Armed guards.
The wall.
And then—we cross. No fanfare. No fireworks. Just a dusty road and a sketchy looking mechanic shop.
And we realize we've been holding our breath for days. Weeks.
There's an exhale. Tears. And the overwhelming realization that the hardest part is still ahead.
