The location was great although finding the hotel proved challenging. The triple room was very spacious and clean. The staff, especially at the front desk were very friendly.
We booked this spa hotel in anticipation of enjoying a massage after finishing the Camino de Santiago. We made appointments for the evening we arrived but then discovered that there was no one available to provide a massage that evening. The spa desk then suggested we use the Jacuzzi instead. Unfortunately after purchasing swim caps we discovered the Jacuzzi wasn't working. A big disappointment to say the least. Fortunately the hotel refunded the cost of the swim caps. Really would have liked a massage though.

Neck injury could shelve A&M's Lane for opener vs. Ark. State
COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M running back Jorvorskie Lane is questionable for Saturday's opener against Arkansas State because of lingering effects from a neck injury.
Big 12 blog
ESPN.com's David Ubben writes about all things Big 12 in his conference blog.
The 6-foot, 285-pound senior sustained a stinger in practice Aug. 13 and hasn't participated in contact drills since. A&M coach Mike Sherman said Monday that Lane still hasn't been cleared to play and has been coping with headaches.
"He's been held out of any major conditioning," Sherman said. "We'll play it by ear. He hasn't been cleared to do a whole heck of a lot, so I have some concern there."
Lane was not available for comment.
Team spokesman Alan Cannon said Lane has not been hospitalized, and Sherman stopped short of saying Lane had sustained a concussion.
"He had the stinger in the shoulder, the neck injury, and at the same time, he had a head injury," Sherman said. "Now, whether we actually labeled it -- we're so sensitive on how we label head injuries. A concussion? I can't honestly tell you that. But he's had some headaches."
Lane rushed for 780 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2007. He needs one touchdown to take sole possession of A&M's all-time record. Sherman announced when he was hired in December that he would move Lane to fullback. In that role, Lane will primarily block for the tailbacks, but also be expected to catch short passes.
Nick LaMantia, Lane's backup, has been hobbled by a sprained left ankle, but Sherman said he should be ready to play on Saturday.

Allen Leech (Tom Branson) is very good at keeping people's spirits up because these are long punishing days for the crew. We work 11 day fortnights which, I think, is inhumane on a crew. We've got make-up starting at, say, half five in the morning and finishing at nine at night. So they're pretty knackered. So to have someone with the energy and good nature of…well, I think everyone is pretty good natured, to be honest. But Allen's the court jester.
(via ladyannacrawley)
lifewithcourtneyy asked: What were your thoughts on Gillinghams 'Scandalous suggestion'?!?! Because frankly I freaked out!!
Good morning!
Honestly , I found it to be completely in character for Gillingham, or at least the way in which my husband and I perceive his character. I told him last night that Tony was "An ass in sheep's clothing," and he completely agreed.
Gillingham's move into Mary's bedroom was so reminiscent of Pamuk in many ways, down to Thomas knowing he was there. He came in uninvited, although Mary is far more comfortable with Tony than she was with Pamuk. She told him he shouldn't be there, but he stayed. He even refers to himself as a "seducer", although he is claiming his motives are pure. He might have tried to worm himself into her bed that night had fire not broken out.
I think Gillingham wants to force Mary's hand. He's running out of money (no valet; he wants to live simpler). He again is asking about the estate and Mary's role in it. (This is the first thing he asked Charles about back in S4 right after the pig incident.) He may know something is coming we don't yet, things that may put Blake "back in the game". He still views Blake as competition, bringing him up out of nowhere last night when Mary hadn't even spoken of him. (Did anyone else notice the first question we hear him ask when he arrives at Downton is about "the infamous pigs?") Tony still feels somewhat threatened, although he doesn't want to come across in that manner. He wants Mary to marry him, and I don't think it's out of love. He wants an estate. He wants a comfortable life. And he doesn't want to work for it. He's happy to leave that to Mary.
In this episode, Tony demonstrated: 1. No concern for Mary's reputation 2. That his needs/desires always come first where Mary is concerned 3. That he thinks he is "the winner" and has bested Blake, but he doesn't want to take any chances that Mary may change her mind 4. That he is desperate for Mary to marry him.
And his conversation with Bates….Hmmmm. Interesting. My husband's first comment was that he still thinks Gilly killed Green and perhaps Bates witnessed it/suspects something. We'll see. If this plays out how he predicted at the end of 4x8, I'm going to have to treat him for dinner. ;) Yes—it could be that Bates did the deed and that he was trying to protect himself and Anna. But it would be much more interesting if it were the other way around.
We know Mary goes away with Tony. Whether or not they become sexually involved remains to be seen. It won't surprise me if they do. Mary doesn't make the best decisions when it comes to the men in her life. (Until she and Matthew finally got past all of their baggage and got engaged.) And Dockery stated that Mary makes an impulsive decision she later realizes was not the right one. I am betting that decision happens on Sunday.
We are in for the beginnings of quite a roller coaster ride I think once Blake breezes back into town. He won't try to force Mary's hand. He never has. He may even back off and concede defeat. But we know that's just the beginning of the story this season, and I think all of what we saw last night bodes well for our Swine Saving Singer. ;)
I cannot wait for the next few episodes!!!! Let battle commence.

5 killed, dozens injured in Damascus car bomb attack
December 22, 2012 - 18:16 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - A car bomb killed five people and wounded dozens in the eastern Damascus district of Qaboun on Saturday, December 22 the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, according to Reuters.
Another activist group in Damascus gave no figures for the number of people killed in the blast but said bodies were still being recovered from wreckage caused by the explosion.
The British-based Observatory, which monitors violence across Syria through a network of sources on the ground, also reported clashes between rebel fighters and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on the edge of the southern Damascus neighborhood of Hajar al-Aswad.
The district is next to the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk, which was taken over by rebels this week.
The Observatory says 44,000 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising erupted against Assad in March last year.

Bynum's triple-double, NBA playoff record 10 blocked shots lead Lakers to Game 1 rout of Nuggets
Apr 29, 2012, 8:02 PM EDT
Before the Lakers opened the playoffs at home against the Nuggets on Sunday, George Karl was asked at the beginning of his press conference if he thought his team had a chance. He responded by saying, "The first question and the arrogance of L.A. comes forth," which was followed by laughs all around.
It turned out to be a legitimate question.
Denver looked completely over-matched in Game 1, and thanks to a triple-double effort of 10 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 blocked shots from Andrew Bynum, the Lakers cruised to a 103-88 victory that was truly never in doubt.
If Bynum brings anywhere close to the focus and intensity he did in this one on the defensive end of the floor, the result of the series won't be in doubt, either.
Denver's strength offensively had been using Ty Lawson and Aaron Afflalo to get into the paint and create open looks for themselves and for their teammates. The Nuggets have also thrived in fast-paced games, and excel when you allow them to get out in transition. Because of Bynum's presence in the paint — along with strong efforts from Pau Gasol and reserve Jordan Hill on the glass — there was none of that on Sunday.
Denver's starting guards each finished 3-of-11 from the field, and were complete non-factors.
"To me, the difference in this game was Andrew Bynum," Lakers head coach Mike Brown said afterward. "He could control a game without shooting a single shot if he wanted to. He could literally control the game without shooting a shot — that's how good he is.
"He brought some added juice to the table to where his impact on the game was monstrous. He was an absolute beast down there."
Bynum was a problem for the Nuggets to deal with on seemingly every possession. His 10 blocked shots tied an NBA playoff record shared by Hakeem Olajuwon and Mark Eaton, and set a new Lakers playoff record that had been previously held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The triple-double was the first for the Lakers in a playoff game since Magic Johnson's in the 1991 NBA Finals.
"On defense, it's about heart," Bynum said afterward. "You can stop anybody if you really move your feet, and really get down, but a lot of players don't want to do it on a consistent basis; they only want to do it when they have to. But tonight I felt like we were up on the pick and roll, and the guards were having a hard time coming off of it. And offensively, we took a lot of shots that were in the paint, and when we do that it's harder for teams to run, especially with (Pau Gasol) and (Jordan Hill) offensive rebounding."
On the offensive end, Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 31 points, but 12 of those came in the fourth quarter when the game was already well in hand. Devin Ebanks (starting in place of the suspended Metta World Peace) and Steve Blake were the ones that got L.A. going early, thanks mainly to Denver's strategy of doubling the Lakers' bigs hard in the post whenever they touched the ball.
The Lakers spaced the floor, moved the ball, and the seldom-used Ebanks and the up-and-down Blake made them pay seemingly every single time.
"We know Denver is doubling, and they're going to double from all over the place, and they're doubling quick, and they're going to double hard," Brown said. "We have to make sure that we space the floor very well and we move the ball at the right time without turning it over, making the easy pass to the open guy and let them make the assist versus the double team because we know it's coming on a lot of our guys — from (Pau Gasol), to Andrew, to Kobe."
Counting on role-players to consistently knock down shots might not be the best long-term strategy — especially on the road, and certainly against some higher-quality opponents later in the postseason. But defense is something you can build a foundation upon, and in Game 1, Bynum was the cornerstone of that effort.
"He was phenomenal tonight, and if he continues to play like he did, picking up the triple-double, being the kind of monster he was tonight patrolling that paint, we'll be playing a long time," Brown said.
"It's not pressure, it's just the truth," Bynum said, when told his coach said that if he played like he did today that the Lakers would be in for a long playoff run. "If I come out and play defense, this team is a lot better. … I think today was a good showing that we're a versatile team and we're a deep team."
Bryant summed up the Lakers' long-term prospects more succinctly.
"We're a championship-caliber team," he said.
It's one game, of course, and Denver will make adjustments as the series goes along. But there is no answer for what Andrew Bynum did defensively on Sunday, and if anywhere near that type of effort is delivered by the Lakers' center on a consistent basis in these playoffs, the Nuggets won't be the only team left wondering if they even have a chance.

Verstappen admits blame for Rotterdam crash
Max Verstappen has admitted the blame for crashing during his first proper run in a formula one car. With all eyes on the 16-year-old after his controversial announcement as Toro Rosso's 2015 racer, the Dutchman steered into a barrier whilst demonstrating a Red Bull car during the street event in Rotterdam at the weekend. "No excuses. I'm guilty," Verstappen is quoted by De Telegraaf newspaper. "I was late with the clutch in the anti-stall system," he added, with the crash reminding some of the way the late Maria de Villota also lost control when she was testing a Marussia in 2012. The incident occurred during a third donut-laden lap of the Rotterdam layout, and...

We have had a few days to unwind and catch our breath. It is good to be home and back with friends and family. It takes about a week for the body to adjust to the time change and some time to step back into our own culture.
This is a time for reflection of the lessons learned, the places visited, the friendships we developed, and the lasting impact this adventure will have on our lives. I am honored ...

MEXICO CITY— Mexico has passed laws to open its oil, gas and electric industries to private and foreign investors after 76 years of state control. Now comes the hard part.
Mexico's energy reform plan faces test
Experts say Mexico's hopes for tens of billions of dollars in outside investment, and possibly a shale gas boom like the one occurring across the border in Texas, hinge on being able to design the kind of tenders, contracts and concessions that would actually attract companies that already have their hands full drilling in deep sea waters and hydro-fracking elsewhere.
On that question hinges Mexico's hope for an industrial boom.
Mexico says it is stepping into a new era after the approval of the final bills late Wednesday. The country has been pinning its hopes on becoming a low-wage manufacturing center, but growth has been limited by high electricity rates and the need to import natural gas.
Mexico's oil and gas production peaked in 2004 at 3.4 million barrels a day. It has fallen steadily since to the current 2.5 million barrels. With the reform, the government hopes to increase that to 3 million barrels by 2018 and 3.5 million by 2025, by attracting private companies with the expertise and technology to exploit the country's vast shale and deep-water reserves.
The first contracts and concessions for drilling blocks are expected in 2015, and the government hopes to draw more than $10 billion to $15 billion in private investment in the industry per year.
But those hopes are running up against hard realities: The Mexican government and the state-owned oil company have little experience at putting out attractive contracts for bid, or at managing them with clarity and transparency.

Fast Pack Friday: Custom Stuff Pack
I've had my own design for a GORUCK Brick Bag/Stuff Sack style pack for a while now. Last week I finally got around to ordering some parts and I cracked the whole thing out last night (not without some blood and bruises!). I'm pretty pleased with the results, there are of course a bunch of things I would change, but it works.
The reason I can justify it (to myself!) being under Fast Pack Friday is that Transporter Tail from my Fast Pack EDC, the Coyote Khaki colour of these have just been restocked, you won't regret picking one of these up. I've been playing around with the Tail as an individual unit recently, including here where it is wrapped around the Stuff Pack. I love how the clips can be used to wrap around nearly anything to add extra PALS webbing, the stuff pocket behind is great for keeping a bandana or other thin material items too. Also featured on here is my TAD S2 pouch in OD Green, with my LensLight Mini Ti TAD Edition (mines actually an older edition).
My Stuff Pack includes a strip of PALS webbing of its own which I used to secure the bottom straps of the Transporter Tail, hold a pair of trauma shears and attach a PatchPal (stand by for a review of this amazing product in the near future!). The Stuff Pack could definitely use a bit more capacity in the depth but this thin profile does actually encourages lighter packing, so maybe not. It's a similar width to a number of my pouches, so it works nicely for internal configuration. The clip closure (which follows a traditional stuff sack fold-and-clip technique) was chosen as it works well for attaching to other packs and doubles as a handle.
I've got another couple of ideas for custom packs which I'll share when they're done. For now, do let me know what you think of the Stuff Pack?

THE HAUSER 10L – Hydration Pack
Mission Workshop: ACRE
By David Massey
Background info:
Mission Workshop is a San Francisco based company owned by cycling enthusiasts making high end products for cycling and active lifestyles. Their gear is by no means for cycling only, but they test their products against the demands of the road and the road can be rough.
Operation Objective:
Find a lightweight, weather resistant, hydration compatible day-pack around 10L. I settled on a pack by Mission Workshop called The Hauser, which is part of the ACRE Trail system. I chose the smaller 10L instead of the 14L.
According to Acre Supply's website: The Acre Trail System is a collection of bags and apparel that "balances the need to climb light and fast with exceptional durability and weather protection."
In my experience, the reason gear fails is poor construction, poor materials and poor design. This pack excels in all three areas and with "balance".
Seams and zippers are well considered. No loose threads to be found on seams and the seam edges are wrapped. Zippers are solid YKK urethane coated water-tight, they haven't gotten caught on me yet.
"Ultralight" seems to be the buzzword in packs these days and the Hauser keeps up with the times with a "Dimension-Polyant 210D nylon VX ripstop with waterproof laminate". It has a subtle diamond pattern and it's smooth to the touch yet seems quite durable. This pattern gives it a subtle flair, but is very subdued. I opted for black because it's low profile and the webbing doesn't stand out. The other colors have contrast black webbing which looks sharp, but I didn't care for. It also comes in MultiCam, Grey and a Dark Blue.
The Hauser is a result of thinking outside the box and a testament of Mission Workshop's dedication to bike culture and infinite hours in the saddle. They have been making messenger bags and accessories for those that live life on two wheels for years, so you know they have thought of everything.
One of Mission Workshop's signature design aspects is multiple configurations for different users. You can run this pack with the top flap rolled up and secured (the more waterproof option), or run it more like a ruck-sack, with flap down and attached to clips.
The shoulder straps are part of a back yoke made of a mesh and honeycomb padding that is attached to the pack itself at the top and bottom leaving the middle of the yoke open so your back stays cool. I've never seen this design employed anywhere else and even if you have the pack loaded up, every time you move you allow fresh air in to ventilate your back. The shoulder straps have molded plastic clips for hydration tube management. The pack is very comfortable under moderate loads.
The design features a few custom strap configurations for users of different shapes and sizes. Waist straps and shoulder straps can be adjusted at your sides where they meet the pack in four different configurations.
There are four external pockets for gear. The largest is a vertical pocket on the front of the pack that I presume was designed to be home of the mesh tool roll that is included.
Another pocket at the bottom holds the extra straps that can be deployed to carry things like a helmet or an extra jacket (see main image above).
The last two pockets are for smaller items like keys, wallet, glasses, flashlight, nutrition, etc. The main cargo space, measuring in at 19" x 7.25" x 2.5", is large enough for whatever you're bringing for the day like a change of clothes or your lunch. There is a separate zippered pocket for a hydration bladder up to 3L that opens up in full clamshell.
The tool roll is an added bonus. If just going the EDC route you can always just use the tool roll for, IFAK, batteries, electronics or a knife.
I traded in a military style hydration pack for the Hauser because I wanted to go as light as possible. According to ACRE using a Camelback 3L bladder it weighs in at 39.2 oz. With Hauser's extra straps and light-weight construction, less truly is more.
Although not overly tactical looking, there is still a stealthy urban look to the pack. The advents of the back yolk design are refreshing, quite literally, for those using this for activities like hiking biking and urban exploration.
The abundance of options for configuration are welcomed features too, because without the ability to adapt, you can't overcome.
10L retails for $195 or for ten bucks more, you can get the 14L model. Made in the USA for an added bonus!
Construction specifics:
- Outer Fabric — Dimension-Polyant 210D nylon VX ripstop with waterproof laminate. Made in the USA.
- Liner Fabric — 70D nylon ripstop with waterproof TPU laminate.
- External Zippers — YKK urethane coated watertight zippers. (#5 and #7 coil)
- Back Panel — Ariaprene™ hexagonal perforated foam with nylon mesh laminate.
- Hardware — National Molding. Made in the USA.
- Tool Roll — Heavy duty nylon mesh, 500D Cordura nylon, YKK #5 reverse coil zippers.
Makes me want one!!
Hit & Run: Defy Bags Pivot Messenger
I managed to snag a Pivot Messenger and run around with it for a bit and grab some photos. Without further ado, here's the next installment of "Hit & Run".
The Pivot Messenger from Defy Bags exudes a sterile coolness when looking at it…
The outside flap of the Pivot is a combination of 1000D Cordura and vintage vinyl tarp held together with parachute strapping. The main flap closes with the aid of two very nice cobra buckles.
The front of the main compartment sports two D-rings on each side of a pocket with a waterproof zipper. I had trouble finding a use for these D-rings as I have a big bunch of keys that would prove difficult to dangle outside. I can see how they would be good for a small torch or keychain multitool. The waterproof pocket was where I kept my keys and little knick knacks.
On the inside, the Pivot has a padded laptop sleeve with a couple of sleeve pockets for notebooks and some stationery. Enough space for the typical commute but a little challenging if you like packing everything but the kitchen sink.
The Pivot Messenger is a really nice low profile shoulder bag for work. The attention to detailing in the form of the cobra buckles and material choices give a great overall feel and look to the pack!

Emily and Philip Vendemmia look after their students by wrangling a massive schedule of more than 72 classes per week spread over three locations. Bolstered by a strong team of certified Bikram yoga instructors, the duo guides students through Bikram's 90-minute routine, consisting of 26 postures and two breathing exercises. Instructors crank each studio's practice space to a hot and humid 105 degrees to help pupils' muscles safely sink into deep, healing stretches and purge harmful toxins from the body. Each of the standing and seated poses is designed to work every muscle, ligament, and joint while sending freshly oxygenated vampire food to the organs to help support health and fitness.
For almost 20 years, the dedicated Peepers Family Eye Care staff has attended to the sight of its patients with meticulous eye exams and medical services, including LASIK laser vision correction. During appointments, the team employs the latest technology, such as visual field-testing equipment and retinal cameras, which provide an inside look at the eye, as well as snap professional images for retinas in need of headshots. After appointments, friendly staffers help clients choose the most suitable lenses and pick out the most face-flattering frames from name brands. They work to cultivate a familial atmosphere at each of their five locations, offering up family vision plans and extensive children's eye care.
It may sound like an oxymoron, but sometimes it's possible to find inner peace through intense activity. At least, that's what Temple Boxing aims to help its students achieve. Here, trainers create an environment completely free of outside distractions, including judges who only use the ring to discard their peanut shells. Such a focused atmosphere enables exercisers to zero in on their workouts and the targets in front of them, specifically during boxing classes. Punchers of all levels can build up their boxing techniques and improve their strength and conditioning.
Chiropractor Dr. Nicholas A. Grande not only treats chronic pain—he used to suffer from it himself. Familiar with the connection between chronic pain and an unhealthily sedentary lifestyle from personal experience, Dr. Grande strives to alleviate aches and tightness, and to increase his clients' ranges of motion. He draws on diverse techniques to achieve these ends, from cold-laser treatments and massages to instrument-assisted spinal manipulation, which is much more effective than manipulating spines with a backpack full of monkeys.

- unblock siasat.pk
- unblock paheal.net
- unblock realgfporn.com
Alternative unblocking methods
Our in-browser proxy technology is truly the most advanced of its kind, however there are inherent limits to what it can do. If you are unable to acccess iqiyi.com using our unblocker above here are some alternative tricks you can try. Please note however that the methods below require that you have administrative privileges on your computer. If you are in a restricted environment you likely won't be able to follow them.
Method 1: Access iqiyi.com directly by IP address (using hosts file)
On the Internet computers communicate with each other using numerical identifiers called IP addresses. Before your computer can talk to iqiyi.com server it needs to obtain iqiyi.com's IP address. A great deal of website blockers work by interfering with this process and misleading your computer about what iqiyi.com's IP address is.
To bypass this type of blocking you can configure your computer to always use a predefined IP address when accessing iqiyi.com. In order to do that, you need to edit the so called hosts file. On Windows it's "C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts". On Mac OS X it's "/etc/hosts". Open this file with a text editor (Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac OS X) and append the following lines to it:

(NOTE: Your computer usually needs to talk to several servers to display a modern web page. We have scanned iqiyi.com and built the list of servers it uses which is why there's more than one line in the list above.)
Method 2: Use a VPN
VPN is the most efficient and robust block bypass method, but it might also take you more work to set up and may cost some amount of money. However if you often need to access the net from behind a blocker and care about your privacy and security it's well worth the effort and money.
If you are willing to invest a few dollars a month into a stable and secure VPN connection, check out our VPN partner ZenVPN

Hiroshima Survivor Yuko Nakamura Marks 62nd Anniversary of the U.S. Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
On August 6, 1945, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. An estimated 140,000 people were killed instantly or died within a few months after the bombing on August 6, 1945. Three days later, another U.S. airplane dropped a plutonium bomb on the city of Nagasaki, killing about 80,000 people. We speak to Yuko Nakamura and Anthony Weller, the son of the journalist George Weller, who provided a firsthand account of conditions in post-nuclear Nagasaki.

The Predictive Power of Three Prominent Tournament Formats
AbstractTournaments of heterogeneous candidates can be thought of as probabilistic mechanisms that select high-quality agents. We quantify the efficiency of such selection by the likelihood of selecting the best player, here termed the "predictive power." We study three widely used tournament formats: contests, binary elimination tournaments, and round-robin tournaments. Using a simple model, we demonstrate analytically, and through simulations, how the predictive power of these formats depends on the number of players, noise level, and distribution of players' types. We also present the results of exploratory simulations for two alternative criteria of selection efficiency: the expected ability of the winner and the expected rank of the winner. All three criteria may exhibit unexpected nonmonotonic behavior as functions of the number of players and/or noise level. We discuss the conditions under which different types of behavior should be expected, and their implications for managerial decisions.

Flight Simulator
When crossing the Mexican border—or pretending to—is a walk in the park.
EL ALBERTO, Mexico—With Border Patrol sirens blaring behind them, Ceferino Mejía and Diana Guillén picked up their two small children and plunged into the ankle-deep mud. They had to get moving; La Migra had already detected their trail. Ceferino trudged ahead with little José Ángel, but Diana stopped short when the muck swallowed her left shoe. She struggled to hand over 6-year-old Carlos. "Hurry, mommy!" he squealed. The patrol car's blinding spotlight passed just overhead. Balancing on one submerged foot, Diana fished out her sneaker and pushed forward, running along the river to the rest of the group. At this rate, they'd never make it across.
But the Mexico City couple didn't bring their children to El Alberto, hundreds of miles from the nearest entry point into the United States, to head to Texas or California. Like the other middle-class urbanites in the group, they had paid $14 to have the migrant experience without the three days in the desert, without the fear, and, well, without the border. They were in the Mezquital Valley for a local eco-park's Caminata Nocturna, a faux crossing that is two parts haunted hayride, one part nature walk, and one part team-building activity, with a sprinkle of indigenous folklore thrown in for good measure. And after a brief moonlit respite on the bank of the Río Tula, they had to jump into the brambles when the sirens and flashing lights came down on them.
"Think of your family, your kids!" yelled the Border Patrol officer in accented English. "Go back to Mexico!"
No one moved. It could've been the irony of being three hours north of the capital, smack-dab in the middle of the Mexican countryside. It could've been fear—of getting caught, or perhaps of ruining the experience for the rest of the tourists. It could've been the fact that the officer spoke in a foreign language. Everyone stayed flat on the ground, silent.
These simulations started two years ago as a way to generate jobs and income for the 2,800 residents of El Alberto, an indigenous community that has been decimated by migration in recent years. The lure of the dollar has sapped the community of its men and its traditional Hñahñu customs. Fewer children speak Hñahñu than in the past, and the town looks like many other places in Mexico and Central America supported by remittances; everywhere you go, you see stickers for the popular Los Angeles morning radio show Piolín por la Mañana (hosted by migrant Eduardo Sotelo), new pickup trucks with Nevada and Arizona license plates, and newly constructed and still unoccupied cinder-block homes, some three stories high.
"The idea of the park is that people see that … they can make money without going to the States," said Pury Álvarez, who works at the park, known as Parque EcoAlberto. "El Alberto hopes to be a model Hñahñu community and to convince people to not migrate."
To that end, the community has tapped into the bourgeois interest in the illegal journey north. While the park also offers eco-attractions like rappelling and zip-lines in a nearby canyon and three pools fed by hot springs, it's obvious that the Caminata Nocturna is the big draw to those coming from afar. Some have said that the park could serve as a training ground for future migrants, but the park's visitors are overwhelmingly capitalinos who need a weekend away. A few want to taste a little danger, but others just want to be out in the country. Some parents even bring their teenage children to deter them from thinking of heading to El Norte.
