Wind storm

That's all to report for today. Seriously strong winds are howling outside of our hotel room today. It's insane! I would swear we are in the middle of a tornado. The curtains are blowing even though the window is shut tight. We had dinner in our hotel tonight and talked with the waiter a little while. He's from Puebla state which is the one right next to Felipe's state of Morelos. He said he came to Juarez to work because there was no money in Puebla so he's trying to make some money here and then move back home. He also told us that since he's been in Juarez he's been robbed by the POLICE twice. They ask to see his identification and then take his whole wallet and pull the money out. Great =( He's also been robbed by other people a couple times. In my opinion (and Felipe's) things back home would have to be pretty desperate to move to this town. It was very sad for both of us to hear his story... Just one of millions and millions of stories in this country.

Seriously, I don't know how we are going to sleep with this wind howling! We can't even hear the TV over the wind!
