Monday 1st~~~~~Another beautiful sunny day in Arizona. Kent is hungry for those shrimp taco's they have in Mexico, so we took off about 9:30, we had to stop for gas and at Verizon, so it was about 11:00 when we got there. I shopped a couple of booths and I took my necklace I bought there last year that broke when I couldn't get it unhooked back to have them restring it for me. A sweet young Hispanic girl restrung it so fast for me for $5.00 . I was so happy to get it fixed as I wear it quite often. Then we headed for the outdoor Mexican Restaurant for our Shrimp tacos. I think they were the best we have ever eaten today. The shrimp was so fresh and nice sized, I ate two of them and Kent ate three. (picture) I could have ate three, but I finally lost one pound and I don't want it back. LOL There was the cutest little girl who kept coming to our table and asking me if I wanted to buy one of her colored string bracelets for $1.00. I told her no 3 times, but she kept coming back again and again with a big smile on her face. I think those kids see right through me and know how much I love them and can't say no and mean it. I bought one from her but I told her she had to let Kent take our picture together. (picture) After He took our picture, I gave her another dollar for letting him take her picture. She smiled so big and that was the last I saw of her. Those children are so beautiful and I say a prayer everyday to "Our Lady Of Guadalupe" to take care of them. I took some pictures of the parking lot full of the vehicles of Americans shopping in Mexico, the line of people waiting to get back across the border to the USA and the terrain the Mexicans have to cross to escape into the USA. The lines were quite short today and it didn't take us long to eat lunch and come back home. While we were in line, I was taking some pictures and Kent said go take a picture of the Mexican Police searching one of the cars in line. One guard had a big rifle standing guard and two guards were really searching everything in the car. I put my camera on telephoto and as I was about ready to snap the picture, I heard them yelling, I looked up and they were yelling at me, so I decided I didn't need a picture of what they were doing. That darn Kent almost got me in trouble and he wasn't even watching me take the picture, he was talking. They could have hauled me away and he would have been standing in line talking and wouldn't even have noticed it. It is only about 20 miles to drive there, so I am sure we will go back at least one more time for lunch. Tonight after dinner, I went over to the club house and played the new card game of golf again. We played two games and I won the second one, so I guess I got lucky! Kent stayed home with Pepsi and watched television.
