A VISIT TO PROGRESSO, MEXICO

Monday, October 27 – On Friday, October 24, marked Carrie’s first visit to Mexico.

Mexico

She wanted to experience the culture of this country. We knew exactly where to take her.

One of the many, many outdoor bars, Red Panty Bar.Mexico

We visited our favorite pharmacy, Jessica’s. The bartender was so taken with Carrie, he asked her to dance. Hope his wife doesn’t read this blog…lol

Later in the afternoon, Angie and Rick arrived, and we introduced Carrie to a real Mexican Margarita. She loved it.

Notice in the photo above the orange bag behind Carrie and Marsha’s pink bag which is full to the brim. Carrie did some serious shopping. She loved the bargaining process that all the merchants engage in. She got some super buys.

Carrie even got her hair trimmed for a whole $5.00.

There was more dancing….

and maybe some tourist had a bit too much to drink.

Carrie bought a couple of little sombreros for Cinco de Mayo. Bella just couldn’t wait to try one on.

All in all, Carrie loved her experience. We all had a great day visiting our neighbor to the south.

We have one more post about Carrie’s visit. We have left Mission and are at the Elks outside Houston until after the holidays.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!

    Never did I ever think I'd see dancing in a pharmacy! Was he on drugs?
