The next day we decided to go across the border and so parked our car here
and followed the sign (slightly distorted by the wind)
obeyed the warning sign
went across friendship plaza
watched the cars go through
took the relevant border photos
and the obligatory phone booth picture
before following the signs to downtown
past the shops
to the monument
and began our walk down the street
past the stop (alto) sign
and prepared to enter the walking street
where we recorded pharmacy street scenes
and this night club
with Dominos and Subway
and KFC to assure us that we were close to home
as we look at the El Torito Pub
and waited for Suzanne to walk down the street to us
whence Ben posed with this sign for his Spanish class
and I noted this non-Spanish sign
and then paid to pose with the leather model
|
after which we saw this statue
and this street sign that we didn't understand
and asked the man who had sold us the jewelry where to have lunch
and he led us to La Especial where it took us some time to light up the place
after which Ben
and Jane posed
and we ordered drinks
and ate the chips with this dip
that made Ben
Suzanne and me
Ben again
and Ben and Jane excited
as the food came
we admired the diet pepsi can
took a portrait
and ordered flan
and cheesecake for dessert
but moved quickly
to get back to shopping so that we could buy this shirt from this man
and panchos from this shop keeper
before reading the story of the monument at the entry to the shopping street
admiring the monument
and heading out of town once we got a price list for drugs available locally
and said good bye to the welcoming sign
as Suzanne and Jane walked across the square
we took a final obligatory phone booth picture
recorded the Verizon sign en Espanol
and our feet
and a row of obligatory phone booths in picture that led the way back to the USA.
Dinner was at Elijah's where they served good pickles
and others ate their soups
while I had more pickles
but then the main courses came
and all dug in
as I had my vegetarian Reuben with cole slaw
and this orange piece remained
as photographs of the assembled -- Jeff and Gary
me
Ada
Suzanne
Jane
Gabrielle
Jeff
Ben
me
and Syl were taken
before the artistic shots began
|
and gave way to movies

after which Ben took this self portrait
and we went outside
to assemble
for these group photos
and returned to the hotel for a game of Ohell
but our game ended and so we left Gary holding this hand.
