Friday night and you've all left Rosalie and Fred to finish up the San Juan. We went to Amaro's for our last group-of-two meal. I had the stuffed squash and Rosemarie had the eggplant and we washed it down with cokas. During our conversation we also briefly mentioned the word "naco" which I've been trying to figure out in terms of "class." Can anyone help with a definition of this term? Someone said it might be an offensive term, but I don't mean to offend anyone. Just looking for translational clarity. My last email from Calle 55.

Talking about frontera, there is a significative art show, every two years, in Tijuana, at the north-western border. This show is basically dedicated to in-site pieces, which obviously contemplate border issues. A friend of mine, Gustavo Artigas, developed an interesting piece for the show. It was a racquetball using the border wall as the main wall. It was very descriptive of the relationships between Mexico and the US.
