Michigan Peace Team's Exploratory Team to Juarez arrived safe and sound. Julie and Antonia waited two and a half hours to cross the bridge into El Paso, then they drove on to the El Paso airport. We had a delicious dinner together at a Mexican restaurant in El Paso. After dinner we drove to the house we are renting in a Juárez neighborhood. Our host team reviewed the tentative schedule for the duration of our stay.
Today we learned that there were over 300 murders in Juárez during October 2009. We believe it is important that we are here!
