Algodones, Mexico

Yesterday, we experienced Algodones for the first time! We are staying at an RV park in Winterhaven, CA across the Colorado river from Yuma, AZ where everyone goes for four things: dental services, optical services, pharmaceuticals & cheap liquour!! Our friends picked us up at 8:00am and by 8:15 we were parked, crossed the border and sitting in one of hundreds of dental offices! I went for glasses and @ 8:30, was customer #1 across th

e hall in the eyeglass place. One hour later I had had an eye exam and was fitted for two lovely pairs of progressive lens glasses...$100.00. I am going back to pick them up tomorrow on our way out of town. After our friends had their dental work done and I was finished with the optician we went for fish tacos & tamales, then, at 11:00am the liquour stores opened. We each bought a bottle then got into the line to go thru customs. You cannot imagine the crowds!! It was colourful and crazy and alot of fun!! Old people love this stuff, what can I say!!
