Woke up this morning to FROST on the car, if you can believe it. Thermometer says it got down to 29.6F last night (OK, everyone together please: "Awe, poor poor Vic & Don".) OK, I feel better now.
As advertised, we crossed the border into Nogales Mexico today and partook of one of the largest yard sales I've EVER seen. I made so many friends among the vendors... they were all calling me their "best" friend. We got out of there relatively unscathed; just a few trinkets and we each got a great $6 haircut. Here's a picture of Don's, but you'll have to wait a bit to see mine (I tried to get him down to $4, since there weren't many hairs to cut, but it didn't work). A side benefit of the haircut was that we got to watch some Mexican girls shaving other Mexican girls while we got trimmed. (-:
Back in good ol' US of A, we had lunch (told you we didn't stay in Mexico long) at the IHOP, and I got my fix for country fried steak out of the way. Then we took Highways 82/83 back again for the scenic tour of the mountains (I didn't take any pictures, but just imagine Kamloops/Barriere country with a few prickly pear cactusses thrown in). Just one roadblock along the way where the US Border Patrol had a look in the car, and back home again to the Casino.
Gab was pretty happy to see us when we got back - she was on motorhome guard duty with Mojo today. She did a pretty thorough inspection of the car (moreso than the border patrol) to see if we'd brought anyone back with us and was quite disappointed that we hadn't (in a dog's world being gone 6 hours is equivalent to being gone a week). Mojo on the other hand didn't even know we'd left.
Willie Nelson's playing the casino tonight, but we didn't get tickets. Only one song I'd want to hear anyway. I do have to say thank you to him though - the WiFi I'm on right now has an SSID "Me and Paul", and is much stronger than the casino signal. Since Willie's busses are about 500 yards away right now, I'm just guessing...
