We've been waiting to see the Rio Grande - It's what separates Texas and Mexico but we weren't close enough to the border on I-10 until getting to El Paso and then we parallel the Rio Grande up to Albuquerque. Today we made it a mission to find the Rio Grande. We did - It's dry as a bone - you could easily walk across it.
We also decided to see how you get into Juarez, Mexico. We took exit 22 off I-10 in the heart of El Paso and it was right there- 3 lanes headed into Mexico through guarded gates with no place to turn around until we got up to the guards and there was a one lane with barriers allowing us to retreat. We did see the miles of fence separating the countries....obviously the river is no deterrent.
