Welcome to Los Algodones, Mexico!!Another busy day as you can see here in this photo. This is a taxi and driver just relaxing on the streetside.
But it isn't always like that. We were into Algodones last Saturday and it was like a zoo!! I wished I had brought my camera that day - the lineup to leave at the border crossing was unbelievable. People, including us, were backed up about four city blocks. We were in line for 2 hours.
Anyway -I did bring the camera yesterday (Monday) and this is what the streets looked like then. But still a busy place. The streets are lined up with pharmacies, dentists, and optical. Michel got 3 crowns done and we each got new glasses (progressive glasses with transition lenses only $125.)
There are vendors everywhere, and every square inch of the sidewalks are used up for something. This was interesting: Artists who paint on ANYTHING with cans of spray paint. The work they do is awesome. We use brushes and knives to get the same effects. You can enlarge the pictures by double clicking on them. Check out the paintings - they are really something.

Beautiful paintings. It is hard to imagine that they do that with spray paint. I can't even get that detail with a brush.Sheesh. Glad you are having a good time.
