"Cicala in Chihuahua" a 6 Day Series about Safely Traveling through Chihuhua to Los Mochis! Incredible journey takes you through the Barranca del Cobre, and in the homes of the Tarahumara!

If you haven't caught the series that KVIA Sports guy Paul Cicala is doing on traveling through Chihuahua to Los Mochis, Sinaloa, you have to see the video and interviews that will make you either want to jump the train or give you fond memories of the famous travel through the Barranca Del Cobre (Copper Canyon, the canyon bigger than the US Grand Canyon).

Cicala is part of the dyno-duo Sports team at KVIA and is usually teamed up with Raul Martinez to provide El Paso viewers with sports but he does these special reports and this one so far deserves 5 STARS!

While news of drug cartels, deaths, extortion, and femicide in Mexico dominate news and search engines,Cicala has taken the journey to demonstrate a beautiful and historical first person account of the people, culture, history, and art in Chihuahua to Los Mochis. He travels on the train, stays in the no-electricity home of a Tarahumara family and shares a little more each night. It is a great series that starts at the beginning of Channel 7 (KVIA) news cast at 10 pm. Today (2/15/12) is the 4th series. Check it out. Here are the links to the series:

Day 3: http://www.kvia.com/video/30461235/index.html Zip Lining, "Piedra Volada" etc.,

Always good to see our neighbor Mexico and sister state Chihuahua, trying to make in roads to recovery, so that tourists feel safe to travel through Northern Mexico again. Cinco Estrellas para ti Pablito!!

The Norma Chavez Blog - A Border Latina Perspective

I have decided to blog again to add a Border Latina perspective to the Border blogosphere. Too many boys, most not from the Borderlands and as sole caregiver of my 85 year old parents I have some time in between domestic duties, cooking, and listening to their stories of El Paso in the 50's. I will post and hope to provide a public conversation for talking politics, community issues, the arts and music, history and culture, the 915, the Borderlands (the 512 since I have lived in both cities for more than 20 years). I will block submitted posts that don't contribute to a healthy public conversation. It is my blog and my opinion. If you would like to send some suggestions, information, or political events you would like me to share, email me at blognormachavez@gmail.com Have a blessed day!!! Norma 1Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
