On to San Felipe

After a wee bit of discussion about the thing of driving in Mexico, we decided to head south to one of our favorite spots, San Felipe. By 9:30 we were purchasing car insurance and heading south across the American Mexican border.

With always careful cars ahead of us in line crossing the border into Mexico was very painless. However that was soon to change.

Two miles south of the border Ade remembered that she had left her purse in the insurance company office in Calexico just north of the border. Obviously we had to turn around.

The lineup heading north had hundreds of cars in it. After about one half hour in line, we approached the American border crossing. We were quite concerned because we had just purchased a lot of liquor and Produce in the United States. Technically you are not allowed to bring liquor or produce from Mexico into the USA.

However as luck would have it and after considerable amounts of pleading on our part, the border agent let us through with the reminder that this was very uncommon it would not happen again.

We drove the short distance to the insurance agent office. Thankfully Adrienn's purse was still there. Now we had to head south again.

Again it was a short wait heading south and believe it or not we were in the line with the same border agent that checked us out the first time!

God only knows if she figured we were drug traffickers or not but and short order, she handed us over to a superior who then got the dog out of his cage and started sniffing around outside of our camper. We opened door and the dog went inside sniffing. However, After a few somewhat intense moments they flagged us through. We were finally on our way to San Felipe.
