Ride to Mexico for Shrimp Coctails

Parked in the alley by the Club Monaco.  I think it's a Bed and Breakfast...or something like that. ALL the pictures in this blog post are taken with Susan's phone.  I forgot my phone and camera, so Susan gets all the credit for today's pictures.

Through these Portals, pass................Jim and Katie.

Happy in the Sunshine!

There are many places that serve shrimp coctails in Algodones. We're working out way through them to find the best.

Today the Peso is 18.11 to a US Dollar.  Spent 220 Peso's plus a buck to pay for a diet Pepsi and this alcohol free cocktail.

The Margarita Connoisseurs are giving the edge to this place, but the shrimp cocktails weren't  number one.

The food and drinks could be the best or the worst, but the company can't be beat, in any case.

The Giraffe leaning against the tree had a few too many Margaritas! 

Zmean1 is braver than I.  No pictures are allowed within a few hundred feet of any Border crossing.  I almost lost my camera a few years ago. But, Susan just had to gamble :-)

The big smiles are because the Mexican Federal officers wave motorcycles to the head of the car line.  The car drivers get a little upset, but, whose to not obey the guys that are carrying the big automatic weapons waving you ahead!  It's a good thing!

While we were down there enjoying 80 degree weather, the wind came up in California.  That is blowing dust, not clouds.  This is the road leaving Mexico at the Port of Andrade.  A blustery ride back to Yuma.
