A personal travel vignette recounts a border crossing into El Paso from Mexico. The narrator describes customs encounters, shopping with friends, and curious purchases like 78 place mats bought to fit luggage space, narrated with humorous self-reflection.
The author urges embracing native market goods with playful color and practical purpose. It highlights handmade napkins and copper plates, recommends border towns for unique crafts, and notes each piece often carries cultural meaning such as Day of the Dead symbols.
