Marcella — Tijuana, Mexico

Mexico US Border

Tijuana, Mexico is not an easy place to live. Crowds, traffic, pollution and unending border waits have been aggravated in recent years with a dramatic acceleration in drug violence throughout the country. Marcella has lived almost her entire life in this border town and has watched it change… unfortunately, for the worse. “When I was younger, my husband and I would go out all the time. Sometimes I would drive home late at night by myself with my top down in my Jeep; I wasn’t afraid.” Marcella has reason to be afraid now.

She breezes into the offices at New Belgium Brewing Company fresh off her motorcycle, blue eyes sparkling ready to tackle the discussion of 40 head on. She stops and looks down doubtfully at the camera. “Is this a photo interview too?” she asks. “Geez, I would have worn a little makeup or dried my hair; it’s all matted down from my helmet! ”

Interviews slated early July — Wyoming and Colorado

Oxbow Bend

I will be heading to the land of the big sky and wide spaces at the very end of this week and into early July, interviewing 2 women in Wyoming and hopefully one also in Colorado.  Should be fascinating to hear about life in this part of the country and how their perceptions of life at 40 might differ from someone in a more urban setting.

I will also be taking advantage of the 4th of July holiday weekend and enjoying hiking and sightseeing around gorgeous Grand Teton National Park.  Happy 4th!
