All the gay bars are in this area. So maybe if you wanted to see many people the night before wouldve been better. San Hazinto plaza. Plaza de los Lagartos (Alligator plaza). They had to remove the live alligators (there were 3), because the military guys would get drunk and jump in to wrestle with them. El Paso del Norte is The Pass OF the North. Missionaries in Mexico would use this pass through the mountains to get to California. There is an El Paso of the South on the Canadian border. That pass was used by trappers traveling South through the Rockies.

There is a checkpoint, but the process takes a few minutes at most and doesn't involve much, and then you're free to explore Canada. I was surprised, it's almost like going through another state (maybe Cali, they have some Agricultural checkpoints that are probably as time-consuming as the Canadian borders). Also, cruise-lines will also take you through various North and South American countries too, most obviously being much smaller than EU region countries.

@@theangrycynic4389 I've walked from Niagara Falls, NY to Niagara Falls, ON, wasn't too painful but still doesn't compare to crossing a Schengen area border which is normally seamless to the point of being unnoticeable (have crossed from France-Belgium-Netherlands and back, Czechia-Slovakia, Slovakia-Czechia-Poland and Poland-Germany), only had documents checked from Poland to Germany at Frankfurt an der Oder station in April 2022 due to combo of still some covid checks and conflict in Ukraine creating large refugee exodus. All of the other border crossings were marked only by crossing a river or road markings changing. Outside the Schengen area also crossed the ROI-NI border in Ireland a few times, another blink and you'll miss it situation. Makes border crossings ridiculously easy to the point it's very common for people to go to work, education and shop on a routine basis. I understand that before 9/11 the USA-Canada border was less monitored than it is now? Perhaps one day the border controls there could be got rid of?

Couldn't make it past your butchering of local place names, so I'm not sure if you expected anyone to be there. I've found most downtowns pretty empty on weekends, especially on Sundays, especially at 7 in the morning. A lot of people are either in church or getting ready for it. Most businesses will be closed at this time, and probably closed all day on Sunday. Maybe ask someone next time how to pronounce something if you're unfamiliar. It's "ha-SEEN-toe". Honestly, Spanish is pretty easy to pronounce.

But in a way that's a good thing you didn't have your passport because it's not too safe for you to go to Juarez if you're not familiar with the area, you have to go with someone that knows the city and that could speak good Spanish!!

It's incredible to see such empty streets. So liberating after the messy situation with the migrants since 2021. I've lived in the Borderlands for some time and speak from personal experience. It's like I am looking into Juárez, just different dimensions of it. To understand El Paso, TX, you need to visit Ciudad Juárez and Southern New Mexico. There's a Mexican heart that permeates throughout. I'll say that pre-pandemic some businesses opened early and had great food at affordable prices. In time, things could pick up. My memories of the Borderlands are filled with contrasts as stark as the desert 🏜️. The good memories here are of a simpler time where I could do more to be self-sufficient, which brought me pride, comfort and stability. I pray that EP can heal from its wounds of recent - I think y'all know what I'm talking about.
