We met Ken and Vicky, friends from previous years, and Dena, another friend from past years who help Sister Maureen with her work. It was good to see them again.
Off we went after loading all our stuff, and a mattress Sister Maureen was taking over. She had all sorts of other items as well.
When we got to the Mexican guard station over the bridge, the guard made sure he checked everything in the back of the truck.
We were going to go straight to Vickey's but she was still in school. We got invited for lunch at Lupe's one of the local women. She was making tamales in a pot with wood burning underneath which was in an old wheelbarrow.
We sat down to a lunch of tamales and salad...very good

When we got there, we found the roads were in bad condition because of the rain, so we couldn't give Michelle her gifts because her road is very bad. Here is what she was going to get...
This is what the roads look like
We stopped at Erika's house to see our girls, and I fixed the hotspot for the internet. Played football a bit with Eric and Livy, and then we were off to the bridge. Very little traffic, and no problem crossing over.
Then it was goodbye to the others and back home for Katie and I. We watched the 2nd and 3rd periods of the Jets game...Yeah! another win. Got to give them a lot of credit.
and so ends another great day in the Valley!
more later...
