Mi Cumpleanos 2010

I decided that a perfect way to spend my **th birthday would be with a trip to Nuevo Progresso, MX with friends.  We left the park early and after taking the scenic route arrived at the border.  We paid our 25 cents and strolled over the bridge.  We stopped midway to take in the scenery which included a  fisherman on the Mexico side of the river.





Over the bridge we were stopped by this flock of chickens.   They were just too cute to pass by without photographs.

  Another sculpture--another photo-op!                                
 I wonder how many pictures have been taken at this exact spot...

There is evidence of the current unrest in Mexico.  We have been unaffected to date, but the stories are daunting!  With all the attention our government pays to difficulties around the globe, I have to wonder why the situation on our contiguous border is being ignored.


Despite the presence of the federales, we felt safe as we wandered down the tourist corridors of Nuevo Progresso.
