Trigger warning: sexual abuse, borderline kidnapping. When I was 19 my ex boyfriend told me he wanted to talk. I said alright, since I had wanted to make peace with him as well, and I was hoping we could finally do that. When he picked me up I knew there was something off, but I put it aside and got into the car.
Ciudad Acuna, Mexico -- sometimes called Las Vacas -- sits along the Mexico-United States border near Texas in the state of Coahuila.
Parque Nacional de los Novillos. One of the nicest things about Acuna is its scenery, especially relative to other towns along the border. At Parque Nacional de los Novillos -- found near the Sierra Madre Oriental -- you will see the towering Mexico Plateau and hundreds of native trees and flowers.
