El Paso and Juarez View


A scenic drive takes you high above El Paso where you can see well into Mexico. We had wanted to walk across into Juarez, but due to the recent uprisings along the border, we decided not to. But we got a good view from our mountain elevation. In the picture, Mexico can be seen in the hills rising beyond the downtown area (the area of yesterday's blog and our historic walking tour). If you enlarge it, you can see a couple of the bridges. In the gap between high-rises, you can see the backup of cars [look for shiny objects!] waiting on the bridge to clear customs and enter El Paso. The Rio Grande separates El Paso from Juarez.
