Juarez

was with a human rights delegation. it’s an interesting cultural trip when contrasted with life in el paso.

Parts of Juarez are quite pretty and worth seeing. There is, however great poverty in Juarez—as in most Mexican cities, so be prepared to see dramatic differences between the very rich and the very poor. Unfortunately, most American tourists only see the “main drag” of tourist shops and clubs on Juarez Avenue and think they have experienced Juarez. Not true.

but of course it worth visiting! ...it’s a wonderful border city; it’s full of culture contrasts, popular art, & good food …and well… it has violence and poor people, but what city doesn’t have that?....

I went on a church affiliated mission trip. It was a very rewarding experience and definitely plan on going back in the future.

Don’t like border towns
