A Trip To Mexico

March 9, 2009 – 9:59pm

OH, how time flies. It’s almost mid-march! I try and try to stop that calendar from moving forward, but I’m fighting against the wind……..

Today we went to Mexico! I’ve been to this part of Mexico before and it hasn’t changed at all. Except for the pedestrian toll. The first time I came to Progreso, Mexico was a few years back and there was a pedestrian toll to enter Mexico, but not to exit. Today there was a people toll each way! It’s a quarter to get into Mexico and 30 cents to exit Mexico. So a round trip on foot to Mexico is going to cost you a whopping 55 cents! I’ve got pictures……….

Find a quarter to get through…….

After to pay toll and walk over the Rio Grande River bridge you come to another border patrol for the ones who want to get out of Mexico…….

Time to go shopping……

I love Kokopellis! This picture is for you Don! – I hope you are enjoying Florida!

More shopping……

I was thinking of buying Jake a chair……aren’t those so cute……..

After we left Mexico we went to another part of the Mexican border and they have a small ferry there to take people back and forth across the Rio Grande River. It’s 50 cents to go from USA to Mexico and 70 cents (no change provided) to get back to the US. The ferry holds three cars and about 30 people. We just rode the ferry over and back, we didn’t get off the ferry on the other side. This afternoon I took the tricycle out with Jake and rode around the RV Park for a little while. That’s what we did today! Have a great day!
