El Paso - The Delaplaine 2017 Long Weekend Guide: Long Weekend Guides

About this ebook
A complete guide for everything you need to experience a great Long Weekend in El Paso, or, as my pal Jerry Adams who’s from there calls it, “Hell Paso.” Though only a bridge over the river that crosses the Mexican border separates it from the “Murder Capital of the World” (Juarez), El Paso is still pretty safe and has a lot to offer.
“Had an excellent short trip to El Paso thanks to this handy little guide.”
--- William M., Seattle
“We didn’t follow the advice in this book not to go to Juarez and were pretty scared the whole time we were there because people looked at us like we didn’t belong. If you cross into Juarez, take someone with you who knows where they’re going.”
--- Henry F., Birmingham
You'll save a lot of time using this concise guide.
=LODGINGS (throughout the area) variously priced
=FINE & BUDGET RESTAURANTS, more than enough listings to give you a sense of the variety to be found.
=PRINCIPAL ATTRACTIONS -- don't waste your precious time on the lesser ones. We've done all the work for you.
=A handful of interesting shopping ideas.
