A trip out of the country and back again

Today was a day for shopping! But not just ANY shopping, we went to the duty free shops in Nogales and then across the border to just see what we could find.

The shop keepers there will take you by the hand and lead you into their shops to try to get you to buy. They start out with an outrageous price, and it's up to you to get them to come down to a reasonable one. I bought something for Kid there (can't say what in case she's reading) and also some meds. Not for me, but for Orion. Last year he had several abcesses, and was given this same med a couple of times. Much cheaper than taking him to the vet every time he gets hurt, which ends up being once every couple weeks.

We saw beautiful ladies!

And a lot of javelina!

And pirate ships!!

Coming back into the US was a trip. We had to wait behind these turnstiles.

They only let about ten people at a time through into the actual room where they checked our IDs. When our group of ten was done, they let more through the gates. It wasn't that way when I was there last.

We came home for a short rest, then decided to go to Bisbee. I did a little shopping there, too... but not saying what I bought. I love the colors of the hills in Bisbee. They are a bright copper red, and they are very steep. It's amazing how some of the houses were built. I will post pictures of those later due to technical difficulties.

And of course, we saw beautiful cactus flowers....

And ate yummy strawberries!

A special message to my reader in Natick... are you B? Leave me a comment, please! Thanks!

I went to Nogales with my mother when she was here. She got meds and I wanted one of those metal guys but didn't purchase as they were too pushy which made me want to leave. Love the photos!

So Mexico is where those javelinas were last October! DOH! I would have thought using Mexican puffies would have lured them back over the border but Nooooo........!

The bus station in Nogales should be a National Historical location.
