Tacos for lunch today? We could go to Mexico! You can have that in the US, too? Well, what about some mariachi bands? Not new either? Then, maybe, what about practicing your Spanish? No? What about a Coke with real sugar in it? OK, let’s go to Mexico!It only takes a short walk from El Paso, Texas to Juarez, Mexico. And everyone is welcome there! No passport control, no questions, nothing. Finally all those American movies where the bad guys always try to make it to Mexico make totally sense! We made it, too. And we had Tacos and music and sugar. Fantastico!
Feeling totally relaxed after 2 hours of Mexican sunshine we made it back to the US, which took about another 2 hours of waiting in line to get in. Weird enough, since the actual passport control was only after driving about 100 miles up-country, shortly before we hit New Mexico. Maybe the Texan police mistook Texas for Arizona. Anyway, we were allowed to enter New Mexico after being warned that Juarez is one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Well, we enjoyed our Tacos – and weapons are legal where again?Back in New Mexico we saw one of of the most impressive things we had seen on our trip so far, the Carlsbad Caverns:

Sorry, but you forgot about mentioning the most important stuff: TEQUILA (and not the cheap To-fill-up-US-Teens)!
How could I forget about that?!
Well, sometimes it happens under certain circumstances.
By the way, one photo looks a little wiggly ;-)
