Last day in Yuma and Mexico..

Had a lovely relaxing week in Yuma, popping over the border to Mexico for shrimp/fish tacos and tamales mmmm yum yum
Comfy room and lovely people:) seriously thinking of Bahai California next year...

Magical day today watching the hummingbirds:) apologies for jerkiness on videos but they move so fast!!!!!

Have spent special time in Mexico the people are so gentle and nice, better experience than when we went to El Paso border town...

Met some cheeky Mexican kids in motel at sunset... They were off for a swim in the freezing pool!!! But they were very chatty and sweet...

Sunsets were gorgeous..

Off to Phoenix tomorrow..

Humming Birds in Yuma (Videos).

Mexico day 2

Don't panic we have NOT bought any souvenirs or pressies!!!!
Notice the common theme - dentists...
First day was a bit overwhelming - but today was less stressful and was enjoyable chatting to the locals:)
Sooo many Canadians here - getting their teeth done, buying glasses and DRUGS!!! Aka their prescription medicines....
We have met so many nice people here which may be why we are still here!! Plus it's lovely and WARM

Went back to taco place and had fish tacos and tamale OMG it was delicious!!!

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 :)

Did you ever wonder where your Salad came from (Video).

It's a nice sunny warm day around 78 Fahrenheit 25.5 Celsius not really conducive to hard work. They cut, wash, pack into bags and then box right there in the field. It leaves the picking line on pallets ready for shipping to the market.

We were hot just sitting in the car watching!!!
