Today we hooked up with our dock mates Sharon & Casey and took a little trip across the border to Progresso Mexico. We park our vehicle on the US side and walk across the bridge over the Rio Grande River, which forms the US Mexican border at this point.Here's Dan & Casey at the bridge.
Just into Mexico and there is this big show of military strength. I think it is more a show for the Americans to make them see that they ARE trying to do something about the drug wars, but there has never been any problems at this border crossing like there has been at others that we have heard about. Once into the village it's like any other giant flea market, with people hawking their wares up and down the streets in front of all of the stores.
