Monday 17th September 2018...Mexico...in and out!!!

Did not sleep too well last night don’t know why the room was great....anyway I decided to help out Maria she has a tree close by her driveway and some branches were really low and overhanging the driveway..so I just used her clippers and lopped off a few branches ...looks much better.


Then it was my venture into Mexico to get my visa and car permit..I parked close to down town and walked across the border..it was so easy to get in no one approaches you at all.


I went to the same office where I had a hard time getting my visa a year ago and I don’t know if it was the same man but it all went very smoothly and with in no time I had a visa for 180 days!!


Then walked about 500 yards to the office where I wanted to obtain my car permit..I have done this numerous times before and I am  good at it ....I had the documents I needed..the three copies of each plus the originals..and again very easy to get....I was in total time about 30 minutes doing all the work needed.


I then walked back across the bridge with scores of Mexicans going into Laredo...into the immigration hall and there were four open counters with line ups...I picked the young lady immigration officer line up...BIG MISTAKE!!


She asked me where I was going and I politely told her what I had just done to save time tomorrow when I drive my car into Mexico..she seemed to be not able to grasp why I had done this and then the questions started including why was my Canadian passport issued in Mexico....she had me for about seven minutes in which time I just answered every question without offering any additional information...in this time many many Mexicans had gone through the other check points....she finally handed me my passport back and waved me through!!!!!


So I was all set...did some more final shopping and came back to the house packed the car and all ready for the morning...


I hope to leave around 6 am and it will be at least a ten hour drive but I am ready!!


So here it is the last night of this epic journey and now I feel like I am going home and I think I shall be staying put for a while....thanks for coming along and all the supportive comments!!


Yashi Kochi!!
