Los Algadones–the most friendly of all Mexican border towns. At least, that’s what we heard from friends and family. And if there’s an adventure to be had at the end of the road, I’m going to want to go visit. So after a bit of cajoling I talked Embee into heading south of the border to Los Algadones. I only wish we had needed dental work while we were there. Los Algadones is best known for the 300 dentists it boasts within a 4 block area. We went over and back and managed to only buy touristy crap–not a new crown or root canal.
But while in Rome–
The hat vendor timed his assault well. He waited until Embee was one margarita down and then went in for the sell. I think he looks quite handsome.
Lunch (and the Rita) was had at a great patio restaurant within an inner courtyard. “Paraiso”

I have no idea who the people are in this photo but they looked festive under the umbrella!
Then I wanted to just get a picture of the “Taco” sign…but the focal point of this picture does not say “Taco”.

So, if you visit Yuma, Arizona you must go south of the border and visit this sweet little town. They absolutely cater to the Snow Bird crowd and it is a very clean, safe town.
I’m hoping I get a tooth ache soon so I can return with greater purpose.
so, how much would it cost for me to get down there in my little car camping all the way? Soon, I fear, I will have more teeth falling out and I want implants of which, of course, I can’t afford.

Dear Di and Mike, Love the sombero! You guys give me hope for the days of our far-away retirement. Love the lady under the taco sign. Such a cheery soul! Have a great time. Love and hugs, Lydia
