Monday, 27 November 2023: on our way to the border

Justin and I had our own little bit of Black Friday yesterday.  Justin had ordered tramps for the Hobie catamaran we have in Mexico.  Those arrived yesterday as did two new pairs of jeans and a jacket for me.  We also ordered an air purifier and a SimpliSafe security package for Mexico.  


We left Dellene’s house after another two week visit.  We got to spend lots of time with her and with Mike and Sister.  I had tears in my eyes when we backed out of the driveway… 13,642 miles on our new car.  Our plan was to go to Laredo, cross the border get our TIP, return to the US to spend the night and then the next day, cross the border and drive.  And, so, far, the plan was working.  When we settled into our hotel this evening, we were in possession of a current and valid TIP!!!  The most interesting part of today’s process was that a federal police officer offered escort to Monterrey!  I said, no, we were good.  Maybe because it was already getting dark and likely they bought we were planning to start driving at night.  ???  Nope — no — nope!  Still, to have the federalis  offer an escort???  I never did ask the price.
