On the way to the bridge, it was raining slightly, then harder, then slightly. By the time we reached the parking lot on the US side of the bridge, it was slightly.
We carried the large container of stew that Katie made as well as a large carrot cake.
I was not smart to wear my Crocs, as right over the bridge, it is tiles as a sidewalk and very slippery. I almost went down a couple of times, even the Mexican men trying to sell things on the street were telling me to be careful.
Shortly after we got to the pharmacy and talked to Lenny who phoned them, Erika's sister, who is visiting from Monterrey, and the kids picked us up. Erika's mom is also visiting.
Katie heated up the stew, and Erika's mom made rice with carrots and corn. We also brought a couple of loafs of french bread and butter.
It was a great meal, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Then it came time for desert. Erika's sister Kathy had made two cheese cakes. Katie and I each had a piece and it was really good. Of course, we also had to have a piece of Katie's carrot cake, and it was delicious as well. Kathy and Erika's mom both said they can't get carrot cake like that in Monterrey.
Apparently Kathy has a US visa so Katie and I were going to take her to Walmart in Weslaco, where she wanted to get some things for Erika before she goes back to Monterrey. It kept raining though, and then a friend of Erika's, the same one that picked us up on the street the other day, came and took Kathy instead.
We had lots of fun with the kids, and when the rain let up a little bit, Livario drove us to the bridge, and Katie and I only got a little wet on the walk back to the car.
Then it was relax time again.
and so ends another great day in the Valley!
more later...
