Thought that I would write a little more in my blog. We have had a few problems losing things. Linda either lost her medications that we just got from Missouri or one of us threw them out. Probably the latter. I know the insurance won’t pay for them again so I think we need to go to Mexico to get some. Worth a try anyway. The person at the office said that Tecate may be a nicer place to go than Tijuana. Tijuana was a lot closer, in fact we were at the parking lot and we could have walked across but we figured we needed to see some different country. We were told it takes about forty five minutes to get there. Well, it took us about an hour and a half but it was a nice drive. The town is probably quite large we don’t want to go to far into town. Went to two different pharmacies and finally found her meds which were about the same price as we pay back in Missouri with insurance. Here is a picture of what we first saw…
This is a sign for Tijuana, Ensenada and Mexicali. Probably would have been closer to go on the Mexican side. I think Tijuana was only thirty eight kilometers, maybe more than that but really didn’t want to take the car over the border. Would have been a different experience though.
Not very many Gringos over there and not many residents speak English. Asked a security guard about a place to eat and through hand signals he finally pointed to a place…
She couldn’t speak English but that was OK. We figured out the menu (Spanish of course) and ordered. Started with a bowl of soup, I think in Spanish it is Caldo de Res, which probably means soup of the day. It was very tasty, vegetable soup I think. I ordered beef burritos and Linda got a chili rellano, a cheese quesadilla and an enchilada. Very good food and it came with a little desert, cookies. Tasted like a butter cookie or something like that… maybe you can tell what it is…
Maybe not. The place was very clean, looked a lot better inside than outside. I would eat there again. Probably never make it back to Tecate though.
We went over to Dee’s house, Gianna helped Linda with her phone. Downloaded Skype and something else. Not sure she will ever use it though but she might.
We toured San Diego for about an hour. Got to see some really nice homes. Roads don’t really go where you think you should. We ended up down town and those roads don’t really go where you think they should. We finally got back onto I-5 South and wanted to stop at an In and Out Burger place. We have been passing one the past three weeks but can’t remember where it is for sure. After taking a lot more roads than we really needed to, we finally found it. Had a hamburger, it was good but still not as good as What a Burger in Texas. I think What a Burger is the best.
We stopped at Wal Mart, got some ice cream and headed home. Been quite a long day!
I don’t think we are going to do much today, probably stay home and take it easy. I’m trying to make some bread and I have a feeling it isn’t going to turn out very good. Oh well, that is the way it goes….. Bye Y’all….
