After driving 4 hours, we made it to a border town between Mexico and California. We spent the day there shopping and looking, then drove home.
These shoe shine boys were all smiles as they worked hard transforming the old people's tennis shoes. I saw them later with a pocketful of ones as they biked off to school (which starts at 1pm).
This is the essence of a border town in Mexico. It seems that people walk across the border for a few hot sellers. Cheap healthcare, cheap smokes and liquor. You can be your own pharmacist in Mexico. Whatever your needs, it's there. Viagra for grandpa, Zoloft, Zantac...the men call from the sidewalks to beckon you into the stores. Need your drugs?
The woman at the eye doctor worked harder than anyone I saw. With calm patience, she greeted every old person that came in the door for a cheap eye doctor appointment ($20 or $10 with the purchase of glasses). She adjusted glasses and answered questions all day long. Just watching made me tired.
