Back in September and October we went across the border into Mexico. Nice relaxed time, ate and drank on the first visit. Second visit was over and back quickly but still relaxed. It was not high season, the winter Texans had yet to arrive.
Needed to make a drug, excuse me a medicine run so went today, in high season. Holy crap on a cracker what a mess of people. The parking lot was full of vehicles with out of state plates. Of the ones i saw, Illinois and Iowa were the leaders in the count. More gringos on the streets than Mexicans.
We are up close to the border problems. Imigration changes lead the news cast down here. Since October they have apprehended 86,000 just in this area alone. Mostly kids. Like it or not the problem is real and understated. The "wall" is a fricking joke, but the tide must be slowed.
All things considered, we like it here more and more.
Planning an extended trip is proving to be a challenge. May not add to our states visited map but Maggie will hit the road to somewhere, probably Arkansas and Missouri.
Till next posting...
Carpe diem
