Where did you live in El Paso at that time? I lived across from Sacred Heart Church and School for the first 8 years of my life. As a kid, I hated going across the border because it was so unfamiliar to be and because of all the noise, the exotic odors, the beggars, and the language. I was always afraid, although no one would have harmed me but that's how I was then. Now, I can appreciate everything about it, including the interesting architecture. Marge:)

Good and sad times:
We also went to the Marcado in Juarez back in the
early '50s. My mom would buy dry goods which were
really expensive for us to buy in the United States
(Los Angeles). Would you believe that we also
purchased young parrots and smuggled them across to El
Paso! Later on this turned out to be a sad
remembrance for me, when I found out that thousands,
maybe millions, of the these beautiful birds were
wiped out of the rain forests in Mexico, just because
of greed and ignorance.
