Mexico

We got a phone call from Dick and Darlene on Sunday and they were headed for Mexico and wanted to know if we wanted to go with them. Seeing as we have never been, thought this would be a good time to go, they could show us around. We both want to go there and get some dental work done and pick up some of Keota's pills. For those of you that don't know, we park on the US side ($2) then walk across the Rio Grande River. We made a potty stop before crossing, then there is a turn stile which you have to deposit 25 cents in. When we got to the Mexico side, there were little arms sticking thru the cracks in bride railing wanting hand outs. Then we came to the Mexico Army standing at end of bridge, holding guns. I stopped to take a picture of one of them and another one came over and told me I couldn't. I thought he was going to take my camera, but he didn't and I did get a picture. The sidewalk is lined with vender's and it is hard to walk thru there, they are all asking you to buy something. We just kept on walking and shaking our head NO. Darlene and Dick wanted to show us where they go to dentist, so did that. Then went into one shop and looked around. Roger got some cinnamon and Dick got some cookies. Wow we are big spenders. We walked around looking for the guy that paints the satellite dishes, but he wasn't there (Sunday). We did stop in a store and picked up some Heartguard for Keota. It is about half price from what we paid before. Plan on going back for more and the Frontline, also check into getting his heart meds there before we leave. It was interesting going over there, but can't say we see any real need to hang out there.

Took Keota to vet yesterday as the vet in CR wanted him to be seen when we got down here. I brought a CD with his Xrays and report from Vet for them. They took blood work and sold us more pills and bill came to $200. This is going to be expensive every month. Vet wanted to see him in a month for another blood test. Seems like this last one showed there may be a problem with his kidneys. The meds are probably causing that.

Don't laugh but I bought my Christmas cards today, going to get started on them, so everyone can have our new address. We love to get mail, and not bills. I went to my settings and set it up so some of you will be getting an email each time I post. If you don't want it, be sure to let my know and I will take your name off the list. Hope you enjoy hearing from us.

Monday we met with the people we are buying new place from. Did all the paper work, and called the electric company. I spent close to an hour trying to get that worked out. They kept transferring me to someone else. What a pain. We are getting excited about moving. We had already paid for our spot at this park, so we are going to leave our RV here and pick up our mail here that is being forwarded. Too much of a pain to get it changed, would take forever to get to us.

Everyone stay warm.........drive safe.........and...............Happy Trails
