The Tecate Journals

Fellow San Antonio Express-News book critic and Our Lady of the Lake University professor Yvette Benavides has brought to my attention an interesting book by Laredo Community College professor Keith Bowden entitled "The Tecate Journals: Seventy Days on the Rio Grande."

According to Yvette, it's a beautifully written book about a two-month travel Mr. Bowden took along the 1,200 plus miles of the border from El Paso to the Gulf of Mexico.

I have read some of Keith's journal writings of his trip and found it interesting, to the point of being spellbinding. I almost forgot to chew as I was reading his accounts during lunch (I read when I can!).

Let me know what you think.
