Yet nobody has mentioned the hundreds, possibly thousands of girl and women who are missing from Ciudad Juarez and surroundings. Wonder what that's all about?
Having lived in El Paso and going back and forth across the border without concern, and speak passable Spanish,... well, those days are done.
To the OP, if you really need to go, then go with somebody similar to John & Angela.
They know what to do and what not to do. Don't go with a tourist guide book and expect to get by.
