Where are we today ?
Cooler today only up to the high 70's. After the heat almost feels cold. But we survived, lol. Got a couple miles walkabouts this morning then at 10:30 John and Barb picked us up and we wandered down the road to Los Algodones Mexico, just cause we could. It's been a couple years so we were due.
Not real Mexico but we still enjoy it for a couple hours. We know the vendors and how to avoid them ( shut off my hearing aid, lol). Checked out a few things.
They have everything there that you don't need and even stuff that you do need mostly at great prices too. Dental, eyeglasses drugs etc.. all excellent prices.
Love watching these guys painting they are amazing |
lots of t shirts with sayings love them |
Then we stopped at the purple store, sampled some Tequilas and picked up a 1 litre bottle of nice Brandy for $6.85 another good deal
11:45 a very short line back to the USA 12 minutes to wait , gotta love it!
nice short lineups before noon |
This place is always busy and food always hot and fresh, selections here for everyone.
Excellent salads, seafood, desserts, sushi, soups, mongolian grill all is very good.
We choose to come for lunch for 2 reasons, less expensive and we always overeat. So for today this was our breakfast, lunch and supper.
Breakfast, sample a bit of salad |
Lunch, love the Hot and sour soup |
choices for the grill |
cooked so quickly to perfection |
Supper, this my Mongolian grill plate |
this my dessert |
our haul across the border |
Spent a fun day with our good friends John and Barb, they are leaving in the morning and we will probably not see them until this summer in Ontario
Needless to say no supper tonight we are still quite comfortable now, not too full anymore. and even still sitting outside reading and posting this blog at 8:20 pm it is that nice out!
Thanks for taking a peek and if you in the area drop by and say hi!
and another nice sunset to end a wonderful day |
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Fall and Winter..
You are right. There is just about everything you need or don't need in Mexico but it's still fun.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy it there.
DeleteAh...brings back memories of our stay there a couple of years ago. I loved all the color in Algondones as we walked the streets!
ReplyDeleteWe also ate at Lins a couple of times...awesome buffet!
Our 2 favorite things to do in the area. Fun and Tasty...
DeleteA good booze run, great deal on asparagus, and a full belly! I call that a 10!
ReplyDeleteYes it sure was !
DeleteAnd once again your blog left me hungry. Eating is my favorite past time.
ReplyDeleteOne of ours too Dizzy.
DeleteFun day for you, we always like going to Algodones, and Lins too.
ReplyDeleteYes it was a great day.
DeleteI saw the asparagus but wasn't sure we could take it across the border. Sorry we didn't get to visit with you this time, but I'm sure we'll see you again in the future. We've got some family obligations and need to get to CG.
ReplyDeleteNo problem with the asparagus and it was so good.
DeleteSafe travels and see you on down the road.
