Border crossings are so interesting, being as they are the ‘edges’ of a country. Last week I read that Chile and Peru are at loggerheads over a piece of land approximately 10 hectares in area ! \u00a0 Talking to a Uruguayan customs officer at a crossing check point while waiting for Mike to get a replacement key for the rental we were driving – long story and it was years ago – \u00a0I was struck by a phrase he used – \u00a0‘our porous borders’ <\/strong><\/em>in reference to smuggling activity <\/span><\/span>at all levels from the petty to the serious, and impossible to really control. \u00a0Certainly, you can stand with one foot either side of the border out in a field or on a back country road; and trade goes whichever way the currency conversions favour at the time. \u00a0Border places are so interesting, being as they are the ‘edges’ of a country.<\/p>\n
