Today Brenda and I went to Progreso, Mexico. Being American Thanksgiving, there were hardly any tourists there which pleased us as we had the town to ourselves. We didn't really have any plans; we just wanted to look around and see what there was to see.

We parked on the American side of the International Bridge and walked across. There were women and children under the bridge asking for coins. They hold out their hats hoping people will throw coins down to them.
On the other side of the bridge we noticed a nice sign welcoming tourists back to Progreso. They depend on tourism to make a living. There are many, many pharmacies, dentists, optometrists and craftspeople. Everyone wants to sell you something as you walk down the street. You often hear them say, "It is almost free" or "special deal for you, lady".
She gets her mind set on something and it is difficult to deter her, but I succeeded, finally!
You will have noticed that we both have a blog going. It is funny that we both put almost the same photos on our sites. Something to be said for the "cohort effect". This evening there was a gathering at the neighbours and we had a pleasant time of visiting. The crowd dispersed as the evening cooled. Seems like we are busy everyday. Always things to do.
