12-21-2010

I would have made a post yesterday but had trouble with the Internet. Around 10:00 a.m. we went to Progreso Mexico with our friends Larry and Carol. Since we are in the Christmas spirit, we wanted to keep the spirit flowing so we needed more spirits. We worked up a hunger walking around and had lunch at the Canada store. After lunch, we went to the world famous ROSE GARDEN for a beer. Talked to another couple and found out about the Happy Tooth Bar. We were never there and the fact that  it's the last stop before the bridge, we stopped there too. Met the same couple. Since we bought all the Christmas spirits we were allowed to bring across the border, we headed back to Snow to Sun. At 3:00 p.m.we went to happy hour and later we went to the Festival of Lights in Hidalgo,. They have a large park and a section of town around the park that they decorate with a light display. It was very nice. We took a trolley ride to see the show. Next time we will take the horse drawn cart as we think that would be nicer.

You might run into a beggar or 2 in Mexico. In fact you can't even get
across the bridge without meeting them.
