Lunch at in La Parilla Los Algodones, Mexio

Eric & I walked around Los Algodones looking for a fun spot to eat lunch.





The metal umbrellas
at La Parilla caught
our attention.

I like the artwork for

the Restaurant's sign.

Blue tarps cover a
wooden framework.

I like the artwork on the

walls & the brightly

 colored furniture.

The bar

Take home salsa.
sauces & chips.

We enjoy music with

our lunch.

Eric's Victoria Beer

My medium Margarita

We share Chips, Salsa

& Guacamole.

Eric's Quesadilla

with Pork...

The hand chopped
Salsa has Green
Chilies.





Eric has found a new favorite.

I was less adventurous,

ordering a Chicken

Quesadilla.

Lunch was delicious!  Eric and I continue our walk, towards the border.

Shopping at Algodones Optical in Los Algodones, Mexico

Eric and I returned to Los Algodones, Mexico.  Eric has a dental appointment at Smiley Dental Center.  I'm getting an eye exam and new lenses for a pair of glasses.





Algodones Optical is
next door to Smiley
Dental Center.

Algodones Optical

has a...

...wide selection of

glasses frames.

I brought an older set of glasses with me for replacement bifocal lenses.  I talked with Saul and he told me that I needed polycarbonate lenses for $99.00.  Knowing that I wasn't paying for new frames and glasses, I went for it.

As you can see in the first picture, I could have gotten replacement bifocal lenses for a lot less.  My bad...  Live and learn.

I stepped into the exam room for an up to date eye exam.  My left eye has changed enough to require a stronger prescription.

Check out my test glasses...

I can see clearly now.

Prescription information is
written on my old lenses.

A new look with an

old pair of glasses,

for $99.00.

Sam's Mobile Washing Details Our Motorhome in Winterhaven, California

Number 1 on our To Do List at Pilot Knob RV Resort is a thorough wax for our motorhome.

Eric called Sam's Mobile

Washing & made an

appointment to get our

motorhome washed

& waxed.

Sam's did a great job on the motorhome in 2013.  I was surprised that the cost had not gone up. 

Eric talks with the
detailers.

I check out the back of

the van.

Everything they need

is packed in this

small space.

The Honda Generator

powers the water jet

used today.

The roof is washed,

& rinsed off.

The sides of the motorhome
are washed & rinsed.

The back of the motorhome

was VERY dusty from our

 drive on a gravel road to

Hidden Valley Ranch.

The wheels are
scrubbed...

The front of the motorhome

gets special care.

Water is squeegeed off
the windows.

Wax is applied. 

And buffed out.

The hard to reach areas

receive special

 attention.

Eric can barely look
at our shiny
motorhome.






Our team is not done...

For an extra fee, we get

the Jeep washed.

It sparkles!

Thank you for making our motorhome and car look like new..
