El Paso, Texas, from Rim Road. September 2016. |
To follow my two years in South Louisiana (one year in Lafayette and one year in Opelousas), and several months of vagabonding to Guatemala, Colorado, Washington, D.C., and Toronto), I chose El Paso, Texas, as my next home.
What drew me to El Paso
- Borderland issues
- Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, just across the border
- Climate
- Ability to revisit New Mexico
- Accessibility of the charming El Paso Airport for visits from family and friends
- Inter-culturalism
- History
- New dance experiences
- Brush up on my derelict Spanish
Residence wish list
- Proximity to the University of Texas-El Paso or downtown El Paso
- A place in the Chihuahuita or Segundo Barrio neighborhoods
- Pay less rent than in Opelousas
I departed Missouri for El Paso in late August 2016.
