Algodones

Today we went to Algodones, Mexico, just a few miles back into California then south a few miles. Algodones is a border town. Many Americans go there for medications, dental work, or glasses. We went just to look around. We did buy a few things, a hat for H, some jewelry, some purses. I got to use my bargaining skills. We parked on the American side and walked across the border. We stayed too long, so the line coming back was about 1 1/2 hours long. We met a couple from Vancouver, Canada, the wife was born in Scotland and we had a really good conversation, it made the time go so fast.

I forgot to take my camera so no pictures today.

H has started a new jigsaw puzzle tonight, so the table will be tied up for a day or so. I still am reading a book, that will keep me busy for another day.
