Yesterday we drove to Progreso Mexico with our friends Bob and Pauline.
We woke up early to leave by 7:30 A.M. We stopped off at the Bakery Café for
breakfast in Aransas Pass before getting on the road.
The drive is about three hours. We didn’t see much because there isn’t
a lot to see between Corpus Christi and the Mexican border.
We arrived at the border a little after eleven. We parked on the Texas
side and walked across. We didn’t encounter any lines.
Street vendors lined both sides of the sidewalks. It was almost
impossible in a few places to walk thru the crowds.
We slid into a bakery so Bob could have a pastry and a coke. We listened
to the mariachis play.
Afterwards we were back out on the sidewalk maneuvering thru
the crowds and vendors.
Dawn found a T-shirt and we picked up a few things for a friend. We were back at the truck by two or
two-thirty.
Bob drove us to Donna to the flea market so we could get some fresh
produce. We bought grapefruits, oranges, limes, cilantro and watermelon.
We had intentions to walk thru the flea market and look around but we
were all tired. We returned to the truck and headed back to Rockport. Bob
stopped in Kingsville and we had dinner at Whataburger.
We arrived home a little after seven.
Our fur kids were really glad to see us. Several of our neighbors took
turns checking on them throughout the day.
Our neighbor Marsha came over shortly after we got home. She brought over
a bottle of margarita. She and Dawn sat outside until ten talking and laughing.
I took a shower and went to bed!
