Palomas has a cemetery just as depressing as the rest of the city

These pictures tell it all :-(

By following this road to the top of the hill, is Paloma´s cemetery to be found.
Kind of thrown out in nowhere land just like that.
No church no surrounded gates or fence.. No Nothing!

You do see the road, right?

It is almost impossible to be buried closer to the passers way than this.

Many unknown people are buried here

Very sad! No name, no date, no plastic flowers

This little boy was three days old

Carved in by hand on a piece of stone

Some graves were very well maintained and fenced in

Impossible to read the sign behind the image of Jesus.
(I guess it is Jesus)

Maybe this was planned to be the chapel. I used it as a toilet. :-)

My toilet in front of the cemetery.

What a sad city

Paloma at the Mexican/US border is such a sad and poor city. No wonder they try their luck with drugs since there is absolutely no way to really earn money there.

Men waiting for ???

This hotel was built with drug money

The best restaurant in town

They paint their buildings to cheer up the boredom

The Police Station

Everything "normal life" happens behind fence

No children are playing. They are street beggers. :-(

Fenced in and built with drug money

There is only one paved street in Paloma

Some live like this

Or like this

Will there be a car to repair today?

Countless unfinished houses

Another bar

He is one lucky handyman. He works this day.

Everything is closed

Only one grocery store

Mexican Santa

Out of 10 hotels only one is opened

Someone has to live at the car dump

Whatever was planned in this building never happened

Military station

Someone has to sell tires

The "wall" protecting the border mile after mile after mile

Depressing

Line to enter the US

A border patrol agent had died

It took long time and many more inspections
of this vehicle before it was allowed to pass

In the evening Palomas, Mexico turns into a brothel

and the only thing you see are cars crawling the streets and the before darkness fell non-existing girls show up.

Before this a boots polisher takes care of the boots for $2.

And the begging children have not yet left the streets
