Happy Anniversary!
Can you believe that Ed and I have been married 19 years (co-habitating for 25 years)? Some days that seems pretty incredible to me .... I’m only 29 after all.
We decided to go into Mexico today to Algodones — it’s less than 5 miles from the RV park the way the crow flies but is about 15 miles by road. There’s a large parking lot on the US side of the border and you walk across the border into Algodones. Pharmacies, liquor stores and dentists are the first things you see when you cross the border. All of the items are a lot cheaper in Mexico than in the US. Restaurants and tourist shops fill in the area around the pharmacies. As it was our first time in this town we opted to have lunch in one of the larger more popular restaurants (and probably more expensive though a good size margarita was only $3).
Tonight was the first time we had company in the hot tub — two couples from Alberta. There certainly are a lot of Canadians down here.
entering Mexico, just walk on in, no one guards at all
some of the streets on the Mexican side
lots of street side vendors and stores all aimed at tourists.
