Mexico??

Well...i said we should go to Mexico during our journey...somehow i envisioned us parked at a nice sandy white beach with a pina colada in my hand...but that would just be too normal, and after all we've been there and done that too many times. So Friday we headed out for the three hour drive that would take us to the Mexican border town of Nogales. We arrived in the early evening and found a "guarded" parking lot that was clearly not guarded...parked the car and began the walk that would take us into Mexico. This is surprisingly easy and quite common to do here. We literally walked into Mexico without anyone saying a word to us...no asking for passports or reminders of what we couldn't bring into their country..nothing. We wandered the streets listening to the locals cheerfully call us to their shops to show us their goods. It was a fun couple of hours as we all bartered for what we wanted to bring home with us. Ali and Maddy both bought necklaces and Bill negotiated a couple Mexican blankets for us.
