Yuma to Mexico!!!!

Spent the day in the border town of Algodones - famous for cheap prescription medicines and dental treatments!!! There are over 300 dentists and loads of opticians in four 'blocks'....

Yuma - we were told we would see more Canadians in Yuma than anywhere else in America and it was true!!!!
Was a bit unnerving when we arrived in Mexico - Mexicans trying to sell us medicines and jewelry - but they were nice people, not as aggressive sellers as other countries we have visited!!!

The shrimp tacos were amaaaazzzing and only $1.50 each!!! Yummmy

On our return to Yuma we saw the Romain lettuce fields - we stupidly thought the fields would be automated picking!! Imagine our surprise when we saw legions of pickers and packers processing the Lettuces!!

We sat for half an an hour watching them - it was backbreaking work for them in full sun....

Yesterday we had a Wienerschnitzel which was delumpshous :)

Confused about the Canadians - I thought they had a socialised medical system like the NHS
