Still in Mexico a few more days.....It has been interesting getting Mom's dental work done and spending time here in Los Algodones. I have been doing a lot of looking into what things cost and checking the place out....Not an especially beautiful place to be honest but if you need medical or dental, absolutely incredible in how much less health care costs here. Right now it is right before the every six years presidential elections in Mexico and many in Mexico don't like the current president (Calderon) for going after the cartels, so there seems to be a lot of political activity - very interesting as a tourist - going on - with the two big parties being the PRI and PAN. Yesterday the PRI had a pickup truck doing around town with a live camel in the back, with an announcer going on and on in mile a minute Spanish I couldn't make out - but very interesting. I have been making notes of price diffentials for the blog I am working on, and have also FINALLY had some time to think about what my next move is going to be. I am really dreading going back to Phoenix as I am getting into this slower pace of life and not always being productive mentality.....it is quite addictive. Rob
