Monday 21~~~~~Another trip to Mexico to have some adjustments done on my crowns I had done here 2 years ago. There are so many people from the states here buying their medicine by huge bags full, a years supply. There are so many dental offices and eye clinics here, I couldn't possibly count them all. The clinic that did my teeth has a beautiful Casa for their patients to stay while they are getting their teeth done. It has a restaurant to eat at (you pay for this) and they have a driver who drives you to the clinic and back for your appointments. It has a beautiful court yard where the people spend time visiting with the other people who are also getting dental work done. We never used it, as we have our cat Pepsi to come home to each night. For someone who is having a lot of crowns, implants or bridges done, it sure is nice to not have to stand in that long line to get across the border each day you are having your dental work done. They have pictures of it at the clinic and the people who stay there say it is so clean and beautiful. They also have 2 computers and 3 flat screen TV's to watch or use in the waiting room and their x-ray machines and equipment is the latest. We picked up our new glasses, Kent got a new pair of glasses with progressive lenses and also a pair of polorized sun glasses, I got a pair of progressive lenses with new frames and a neat pair of sunglasses. These 4 pair of glasses cost us $400, what a deal. I was so tired of cutting my hair and it was needing to be cut again, so I stopped at a small Beauty salon on the street and I got a hair cut. I talked to an interpreter and she told the lady what I wanted (I thought) I told her the same way I was wearing it, just a little shorter, but NOT TO SHORT!!!! The front and sides was cut good, but the back was way too short!!! I hope it is grown out before we get home. LOL I have to use a lot of gel and I stretch every hair to its fullest to make it look the way I like it. It was actually a better cut than the ones I have gotten in Yuma and California. I hope this quaint little town of Algodones stays the same and the drug cartells don't take it over. It is a fun experience to go there, Kent would drive over there everyday for lunch if I would let him. If you go to Yuma, go there and see for yourself.
