After we left Greg’s, I checked out a place for propane close to his house so that I could come back later. When we got there, we noticed that it also had a fairly clean Laundromat, so we decided that we would get up early on Saturday and go get propane and wash clothes before Greg and Mandy showed up for the Mexico trip. I was almost empty on propane and put $62 worth in!
Greg and Mandy showed up a little after 10:00am, and we had just gotten back. We loaded up and headed to the border. We parked on the USA side and walked across. It was an interesting day, and we had a good time. We bought a few trinkets for grandkids, Patsy got a new purse, and some liquor. Greg went to his regular barber there for a haircut, and then Mark decided to get one also. We did a lot of walking, and Mandy had her foot in a special support because of a strained ankle. She also carried a cane to help, but I think she had other plans for it………… see later!!! Here are some pictures of the day:
We stopped to have lunch. We had fish and shrimp taco…….. and they were really good. Here is a picture of the group at the table, and a shot that I took of the kitchen (after we ate!!!).
While we ate, the street vendors pestered us, and I finally gave in on one that was going to make a name bracelet for Aubrey for $4. Here’s the vendor and the finished product:
Of course, after I got one made for Aubrey, Mark had to have one for his grandkids. We all waited and watched:
After lunch, we walked and shopped some more, and then stopped at a bar for drinks and to rest. I also found a T-shirt that I wanted, but it did not come in colors or my size:
While we were at the bar, a little girl came by selling toys. I bought a ‘red lady bug’ to put on my dash, and guess what……… Mark had to have one, so she came back with more and he bought it. I also think he fell in love!!!
We decided to head back, and we were un-pleasantly surprised to find that the “walk-across” line to go back to the USA was several blocks long. Mandy thought she could use the cane and a pitiful look to have the Mexican Police let her and her party in through the handicapped line. It did not work, and we grudgingly walked to the back of the line that would surely hold us for at least 2 or 3 hours.
While at the back of the line, Mandy got the brilliant idea that we could hitch a ride in the back of a pickup truck in the vehicle line because it was moving much faster. She asked the first pickup driver if we could jump in, and he said “no”, but she kept working on him, and he gave in. So, we all piled into the back of the pickup truck, and as we rode up the line, people really stared at us. We started to joke about how we would have to go around the block if the officials made us get out and go to the back of the line, so all the people that we passed would not laugh and make fun of us.
Well, we made it all the way to the front of the line, and the agent with the sniffing dog told us that we had to get out because it was illegal to be on a California highway with people in the back of a pickup……….. and we would be on that highway as soon as we crossed!!
We got out with our worst fears being that we would be laughed at. However, the place where we got out, was right at the handicapped entrance. A couple of us were quick-witted enough to realize that the people in line did not know what the agent told us, so we got into line and were prepared to say that since she was handicapped, the agent told us to get in line here!!!! We were betting that no one would check our story…….. and no one did. We were out of Mexico within the next 10 minutes.
For the insiders that understand “Tiffin Trash” and “Trailer Trash”, we decided to title this little escapade “When Tiffin Trash (Mandy, Patsy, Greg and Richard) travel to Mexico with Trailer Trash (Mark and Sue)”!!
Here are some pictures of us riding in the truck, and then helping our handicapped old lady out of the truck:
It’s a good thing that we have raised our kids and no longer have to be good examples!!!
Once safely in the good ole USA, we celebrated by going to get milk shakes at the local “date” farm shop. All got date milk shakes except Mark and I, who got Chocolate!!
We decided to cap the day off with a meal at a local Mexican restaurant. We ate at the Mi Rancho Restaurant, and it was really good. Patsy and I have enough left over for another meal.
