Time in Mexico

 56 degrees here in La Feria, TX and dark at 10:30 pm Friday.  Although a little cool, was a bright sunshiny day.

Went to Nuevo Progeso this morning and had rolls at Rene's Bakery then strolled the street.  Quite a few people there. And, a lot of vendor booths along the streets as well as the strolling sellers. All stores required face masks.  Phyllis & Michelle bought some blouses and other things.  I got Spanish Peanuts.  Michelle got several small purple things, at least some butterflies that can be taken on plane in luggage.  

Ate at Nana's shortly after noon, ate outdoors.  They have traditional Mexican food.

As any of you who have been to Mexico know, you can't take a step without being asked to step into a dentist's office, Pharmacy, Chiropractor's office, Nail place, tummy tuck, whatever.  The guy by me in the photo at left is the only one who wasn't asking me to do something!

I set Harold's International wind thingy in my front yard.  Will take it with us back to Kansas for him on our way home next spring.

This ugly sculpture is way to ugly for my front yard, so is resting in the back yard for Burl Penny to pick up some day. 

Got back to our place before 4 pm when Joe, the Veggie Man made his first stop for the season with vegetables.  Was good to get some fresh stuff, though will have to see him at DonWes tomorrow to get a few 'baby" 1015 onions he said are at that place that are small and starting to sprout but the only 1015s he has right now.  They are available from storage, he said but quite expensive and he isn't stocking them right now.  He said oranges and grapefruit from storage are available, but sky high in price.

We are lined up to go on boat ride on the Rio Grande River near Mission, TX tomorrow and will eat some of their famous Iowa Tenderloin sandwiches at the restaurant that also owns boat.  Stopping at Lowes for a water filter and also spending a little time at DonWes Flea Market.

Later, Lynn
