A couple weeks after our arrival in Ciudad Juarez, I had the opportunity
to attend a local minor league baseball game here in Juarez. They have
a brand new stadium sponsored by Tecate beer, and the team is doing pretty well. We got to see the Juarez Indios (Indians) take on the Cuahtemoc Manzaneros (Apple-Men). We won 4-0, in case you're looking to pick up some new players for your Chihuahua minor league fantasy baseball team.
I took advantage of the low prices to have quite the evening. My tickets behind home plate, an Indios t-shirt, a snow cone, a sandwich, and a bottle of water came to a grand total of $18. Not bad.
On the border you'll find plenty of places selling tortas, which are essentially just sandwiches. Start with a delicious, soft roll, add some guacamole on both slices, then add some steak and grilled onions, and you've got yourself a torta. Don't forget the roasted jalapeno pepper, which comes on just about everything down here. Yes, I got violently ill two days later, but who's to say what was the cause of that.
