Los Algodones Mexico

It was a warm sunny day.  We drove from Sidewinder Road where we were boondocking with other Rvers near Yuma, Az (0n the California side).  Parked at the Quechen Indian parking lot for $5 and walked over the border into Algodones, Mexico .  We went with friends Jim and Linda Mossman.This is the town of Algondones with its narrow, bumpy streets and crowded storefronts.                                                 We ate lunch in a courtyard surrounded by shops and cantinas. Our lunches were delicious and the cost was about $7 US for each of us.

     The line at customs to get back across to the U.S. was short, only about a 30 minute wait.  Viva! Mexico!

Hi,
Updating my photo on blogs I follow and getting caught up on recent entries I have missed.
I did Algodones last week. 1.5 hour line to get back to US, but dental work, new glasses and lunch was worth it.
