Well today my dad wanted to show us a swap meet down townish and I was all for it!! Then when we got there I was a little scared cause we were surrounded by Meco's everywhere, selling everything you could possibly imagine!!LOL!! He said we were close to the border of Mexico however I didn't realize how close until we reach the end of the block when we got to a bridge that had traffic backed up for hours!! Sheesh I didn't expect to see that because all the movies or all you watch on t.v is a road block and then you cross over, not a bridge that they can cross to shop and then return home! I know that its probably more complicated then that but it was just so weird to see people just crossing over like that!! There was a sign that said, "Welcome to Mexico", but the border police made me put my camera away!! So I walked back off the bridge and took a pix of the "Welcome to Texas " sign!!!LOL!! We had fun, it was an experience that I will never forget because the swap meet was about 8 blocks long and we only ran into about 8 people who spoke English, I mean even the Chinese spoke Spanish to us!! So the highlight of my day would have to be going to the border!! I don't know why I was so amused but I was and it was a new experience!!!! Until tomorrow I'm going to hit the sack now!!!! Goodnight!!
