Juarez, Mexico

Hail to the Redskins!  It's going to be hard not to gloat about the win while we are in Texas.

We walk across the Santa Fe bridge into Juarez, Mexico.  Juarez is the fastest growing city in Mexico with 1.2 million people.  It's also the most violent with over one murder a day.  The police wear all black and cover their faces with a mask.  Of course they all have automatic rifles around their neck

We tour their outdoor market and barter for unneeded merchandise.  It's only on the way back that I realize we are the only gringos I've seen today. The trip back through customs this time is very short.
