Eric takes a selfie of
us at the US/Mexico
Border Sign, at the
middle of the Rio
The welcome sign
& statue.
The statue symbolizes Mexico's Aztec beginnings. According to legend, the gods advised the Aztecs to establish their city on land where an Eagle is seen perched in a Prickly Pear Tree, devouring a Serpent.
Progreso has many
shops, pharmacies,
& optical stores.
There are dentists
everywhere...
Sit & dine
roadside.
I like the colorful
store fronts.
There's tee shirts, jewelry, toys, souvenirs, clothing, ceramics, household items....
I was surprised to
find chips with
Hot Sauce.
Pure Vanilla is very popular
& inexpensive, compared to
prices in the US.
A group of bikers
gathers Progreso.
This building is a popular
roosting spot for birds.
Pancho's Bar & Grill
is a poplar watering
hole.
Sit on a saddle &
order a drink.
Friends, Bill & Marilyn,
brought Eric & me to
their favorite pharmacy.
Stop at the bar after
shopping for a free
Margarita.
We watch traditional
Mexican dancing...
... as we sip our
drinks.
Eric & I stop at a
street side bar.
Eric tries Quita Penas
Crema de Tequilla.
It's very sweet.
I mentioned that I was looking
for fresh Flour Tortillas.
The bartender sent someone
to the local Tortillaria for
Tortillas, & here they are!
Bill & Marilyn took
us to Red Snapper
for lunch.
Eric likes his Chicken Fajitas
with Beans & Rice.
My Shrimp with Rice &
Queso delicious!
After buying a few souvenirs, Eric and I compare liquor prices with what we pay in the US. Shopping in Mexico saves us money, even after paying Texas taxes as we re-enter the country.
Estaremos de vuelta! (We'll be back!)
