April 2017 trip to Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila - México

Several of mother's friends have been hospitalized recently both in Del Rio and in Ciudad Acuña. From mom's house we are closer to the Mexican Hospital than we are to the Val Verde Regional Medical Center, so off we went.

I am surprised that the new toll booths have taken so long to be built.

 From this picture it looks like they should be completed soon.

Do you know than in Mexico they offer free immunizations?  My doctor told me I should get a tetanus shot but yes...I am too cheap to pay for one :D

However, they only offer them in the morning at this hospital...guess I might have to pay for one in the USA after all...:-(

Not knowing that we were going to be making a trip to Mexico anytime soon, I went grocery shopping Wednesday.

Decided to stop at Gutierrez anyway and stock up on yogurt and smoothies.  Of course mother went wild in the bakery department.

I bought some baked chicken in the parking lot.  This time they gave me a lot more corn tortillas and pico de gallo than the other day. Then again it being Thursday they did not have as many people as they do on Harvest Tuesday.

The dollar to peso ratio has become more stable. Here are some exchange rates down Exchange Rate Alley..

At the International Bridge, we had a seven-minute wait.  The lady agent did what I think other agents should do...she sent the car in front of us for a second revision and did not hold up the line...kudos to her!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
