Last week in Quartzite, I broke a crown on #15. That’s the rear Molar on the upper left. We’ve been hearing the sweet stories of the Mexican Dentists, now was the time to test it as while in Yuma we border Los Algodones, MX, a hot bed of Dentistry, Optometry and Drug Stores just 8 miles away.
Immediately after walking across the border, you are in the center of town. There you are besieged by a virtual mob of street vendors wanting to herd you to their employers specializing in the above services. The town is plastered with bill boards as well as the usual street vendors of curios and food.
I had prearranged an appointment with Eva Urena D.D.S., she quickly (and painlessly) prepped me for a crown which was finally fitted today (Thursday). The little waiting time we had to do was done in the pleasant courtyard of her office.
While in town we were directed to a very nice local street side {meaning much of the food is cooked at a grill on the side walk!) where we feasted on Fish and Shrimp Tacos. Fancy? No. Good? Great! Price $11, I only had 1 beer!
A rare picture of Anne-Marie as she is repatriated to the United States. B.T.W. camera usage in the secure border areas is strongly discouraged, ask me how I know! This Shrimp in Coconut was her homecoming feast on this side of the border.
Meanwhile, back at camp the work continues. I removed the 4 Golf Cart Batteries (About 350 pounds and $600) and put them into our new to us Bounder. I took the dead Bounder’s ‘Interstate’ 5 year old D.O.A. P.O.S. and swapped the out for some good stuff to put in the 5th wheel. Did you follow that? Neither do I! My back can attest to juggling all those 80 pound batteries however.
Tomorrow, We tow to Las Cruces, CA where we will spend 3 days preparing for our Mexican Connection trip.
