   Peter Robbins called from the border crossing at Reynosa, Mexico.  
The Pastors for Peace caravanistas, headed to Cuba, are stuck at  
Mexican Immigration. They are being asked to pay an unprecedented  
amount of money for transit visas. Peter thinks they are asking for  
about $2000. The 80 or so people on the caravan have been waiting at  
immigration in the 100-degree heat since 10 this morning.

The Pastors for Peace caravan did get through the US Customs, though  
five Pentium 4 computers donated by Canadians in Vancouver were  
seized. --message thanks to Meredith DeFrancesco

Please visit www.pastorsforpeace.org for updates; I couldn't get  
through to the Pastors' office this evening.
thanks,

Hasta la victoria siempre,
