This evening it took us 3 hours and 32 minutes to cross the border from Ciudad Juarez to El Paso! It wasn't exactly fun, but we made it and actually survived! The photos give us a bit of an idea of the line of cars. We sang, we talked, we listened (briefly) to the radio, the girls played, talked, sang, cried, ate snacks, cried some more and finally fell asleep! Glory! That's one of the costs of living on the border and crossing over often.
We had a great time at the Renteria's house. They had butchered a pig today and were almost ready to eat when we got there - pork, tortillas, beans, rice, and nice SPICY salsa. Very good! There was quite a crowd there of invited guests! We didn't stay long, because we were anxious to get to that LONG LINE of cars heading back to El Paso - just kidding!
