Hacienda Motor Nuevo Laredo

Leider ging unser Flug nach Las Vegas von Laredo, Texas aus und nicht von Monterrey...<br>Deshalb hieß es gleich nach der Präsentation in Intercultural ab ins Taxi und geradeaus zum Busbahnhof. Von dort aus dann mit dem Bus über die Grenze, eine Nacht in nem Motel pennen und dann endlich mit dem Flieger nach Las Vegas.<br>

... médicos, ópticos y sobre todo, medicamentos. La calle estaba llena de tiendecitas de Souveneirs y artículos de coña, llena de gente, tanto turistas como mejicanos, andando de un lado para otro. El calor sofocante (40ºC), hacia casi imposible andar mucho rato sin entrar en tiendas para refrescarte, algunas solo con ventiladores. <br>Después de comer en un restaurante Mexicano tipico de la zona y comprar unos ...

We left Larado at 10:00 a.m. We went to the flying j and then we went to get doughnuts but they did not have any so mamaw ran across the street to pilot we got cappachinos and papaw got a coffee.We had no internet so I could not write on the coumputer so i had to write it on a piece of paper. We stopped in Langtry and learned about judge roy bean and how he made the laws of the west. We went ...

Monday the 13. We had to get up early in the morning to pack. We brought stuff from the house to the motor home. We stopped doing that at 1:30. When we left, we got on highway 83.w. We had a blowout on highway 83n. We heard a lot of noise and the rv started to shake. We waited 3 to 4 hours on the side of the road and the temp was 110*. Papaw brought out chairs and we sat in the shade of ...

Its 6:15 PM, and our bus is about to depart for Queretaro, where we will connect to another bus or taxi onto San Miguel de Allende. I was surprised at how easy it was to get across the border. Karen and I went to the Mexican Consulate in Laredo to get our permisos. After eating lunch with my folks, we went to International Bridge #1 where we walked across with our luggage. Once across, we went into the immigration office to pay the fees for the permiso and then walked a few ...

... last minute Christmas rush, provisioned up and headed to the Casa Blanca State Park. Very close to to the City, the park had a lot of full time residents taking up all the prime spots. We put the boat in the water and tested out the motor, she ran like a dream. We talked about leaving Christmas eve because the site we had was pretty ****** and not level, but while James and I were out fishing in the boat ...

... we could have done for him. We drove on through alternating hard and light rain through Catarina and Carrizo Springs. By the time we got to Eagle Pass we were getting pretty hungry so we pulled into the Border Café at the junction of 277 and 57. There we had a fine Mexican Plates and iced tea served by a big waitress that called us "baby doll". When we told her where we were heading, she told us the bridge was under water ...

... at the border. We got to the bus station and thank god the bus was at 10:40 cause that place was grim and miles from anywhere. We were crossing at Laredo/ Nuevo Laredo and I had found a news entry on the internet saying that it was a highly dangerous place to go as its one of the main points of entry for cocaine crossing into the States and the drug cartels are at war (the same drug cartels that have recently kidnapped and killed a load of American Journalists ...

... thirteen points on the final loop. My final score of 52 points was pretty sad. Out of the ten riders that finished that day, I was number ten. "Oh well," I told them, "at least I've got a good story to tell." I want to thank everyone that worked so hard to put on such a great event. I know a lot of you put in many hours of hard work and then didn't even get to ride either day! Y'all are the greatest! The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.

... we were immediately descended upon with offers to get us a veterinarian. Yeah, right, I drove all the way to Mexico to have my dog spayed. Turning down their offers of a vet, they quickly moved on to offers for both legal and illegal drugs followed by offers to get me a girl. I picked up the pace before they could get creative and offer me a veterinarian that turns tricks. It took only a couple of hours to view Nuevo ...
