Hotel Posada Mina 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 ...

... This was us for Christmas now. James was enjoying himself as the fish were biting and caught a big catfish and 2 huge carp. Christmas Day was not the affair we have been accustomed to in the past. The kids had a couple of small presents each and $20 each from their Grandpa and Granny Carol. With Dads blessing they all decided they would pool their money and offer a local lady $60 for the cute unfortunate ...

... 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 ...

... point after that I stopped seeing pink tape and realized that I was off the loop. I turned around and tried to retrace by tracks and it didn't look like I was getting anywhere, so I turned around knowing that I could at least follow the main loop and get to section eight. Time was running out and it was going to hard if not impossible to finish on time. Trying to stay positive about the situation, I was thinking that at least I'm getting to ride a lot today! I finally arrived at ...

... the section was. It turned out to be across the parking lot. It was on fairly level ground, but had a few turns and medium sized rocks to cross. After successfully completing the first loop, I turned in my scorecard and found that I had dropped 15 points. I was going to have to do a lot better than that! I make a quick stop in the pits to top off my fuel tank and took off for another loop. I breezed through section one and then attempted the next section without a quick look. That was ...

Well finally time to start finishing off my adventure, and head directly into the belly of the beast. Nuevo Laredo apparently is one of the most dangerous cities in North America, but Im from Essex, so feel I can handle most situations. That is until I arrived to find out that the day before, a drug/turf fight thingy (cant you see from that sentance, how street wise I am ...
