During my January trip to Mexico, I was fortunate enough to visit and volunteer at the Binational Garden. It was also crazy being there because only a few days before they had gotten there, the US had ripped out their side. The garden was erected by Nancy Reagan, as a testement to our friendly relationship with Mexico. Not only was it disrespectful to rip up the garden without letting the keepers of Friendship Park know prior, but it was also a symbolic act in saying that the US does not have the same comradery as it used to.
