Heading To Texas

Our little vacation within a vacation is over and it is time to head towards the border. Chris and Juan are heading home this morning. I can't believe we have been here a full week! Time flies when you are with friends. We all went out for a seafood dinner last night and then retired early so we would be ready to travel.

We will not make it all the way to the border for two reasons. Samana Santa is over today so the roads will be busy and worse, the border crossing will be a madhouse as Mexican Americans return to the USA after the holiday. Also, for a lot of reasons, we have a policy of only crossing borders in the morning.

There is a large Pemex along the route between Monterrey and Laredo where there is a store and restaurant.  That is where we will spend the night. Laredo, Texas tomorrow!

      Only the weather will determine that Rae. If it is warmer along the border, we will go that way. We will spend a couple of nights in casa Blanca state Park in Laredo and sort it out.

    We also always plan our border crossings as early in the morning as possible. That way the bad guys are still sleeping! Of course you would have actually been better crossing today, because the bad guys would be in church. :-)

      That Church thing is actually true!

      Things have quietened down a lot along the border. No one is interested in a couple of old Canadians.

    Sounds like a reasonable plan to hold out on border crossing till morning. Makes all kinds of sense to us too. Wishing you a seamless crossing back into the US of A.
