NOV 17 - LOS ALGODONES, MEXICO

We returned to the border Mexican town with Lana and Barry. We were immediately approached by sellers and Mike and Barry both got leather chaps at a very good price. After more shopping, we stopped in this courtyard for "cervesas" and enjoyed Mexican music.

Thought it would be fun to take a photo of one of the many signs for drugs available - especially "Magic Pills" and where it says "And More Staff". It is amazing how busy these stores are.
This time we had a half-hour wait in line to go through US Customs - this is considered a short wait as it can sometimes take 2 to 3 hours. Everyone in line is friendly and two sisters behind us said they had flown in to Yuma for a few days just to come down to have dental work done in Los Algodones. One of them had just gone to a dentist after she had just been given a business card from someone on the street. I found this very strange, but they seemed happy.
