Tuesday at El Paso

Today, they took us to El Paso, Texas, the city just on the other side of the river. We crossed the border on foot. In comparison with other times I have crossed that way, it took way less time. Here, it's faster than in Reynosa for example. Also, the border guards were kind, so crossing was not a problem.

In El Paso, we were going to the Holocaust Museum, but it was closed.

Then, the teacher took us to the Museum of Art, which was actually really nice, even though I'm not really an art person. They had some cool stuff, even a signed basketball ball.

Later that day, we arrived to The Outlets Shoppes. There, they had a variety of clothes and other stuff. I couldn't decide what to buy, and at the end of the day I just got out with 3 bags. We were there from 12:30 to 4, so I ate in the food court. I went with chicken wings, which were, like everything else at the outlets, more expensive than in Juárez.

Overall, people was very kind, but there was just one little thing. When I tried to record for my project, people refused to be in the video. They said they were not allowed as employers to do that. Everything else was ok. I just noticed something that I still don't understand. The rain. When we were about to go, it started to rain a little bit. The rain was cold, and I don't get that. I mean, it's water, but in my city, the rain is not that cold. And it's not that it rains hot water, but here the rain is cold.

Getting back to Juárez was easy as well. The Mexican security in the border didn't even looked at us when we arrived.
