Mexico

Nov 24-Dec 4 Alamo, Texas
We drove 200 miles to Casa del Valle RV Park where we will be staying for 2 months. This is a nice sized park, well maintained, with very friendly people and staff, and lots of activities. Our friends Linda, Jerry, Dot and Floyd are also staying there. We have been visiting and doing activities with our friends. We have been to flea markets, shopping, eating out (lots of that), Mexico (more about that later), walking, swimming (not Ches he can only swim at the bottom of the pool) and meeting new people. We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner at the club house with our friends, we are lucky we get to celebrate Thanksgiving twice, once at home in Canada and once here in USA.



Mexico
Mexico here is basically the same as the one by Yuma except that your have to pay to get into Mexico 25 cents and to get out 30 cents and pay tax on liquor $1.25 a bottle. The other difference is the security with a tank and soldiers behind sandbags. Ches and I got a haircut ($5 for women and $4 for men, seems sexist to me) and Jerry got a pedicure and they charged him more ($10 for men and $8 for women, also sexist). Linda and I went back and got pedicures, not anywhere as good as the one I get at home, but nice.
