I went to Algodones today with my bestie. It is near Yuma, where she lives, across from Andrade California. I spent a few days in Yuma with her. Algodones sure is a horse of a different color! There were a gazillion snowbirds standing six deep in the pharmacies and liquor stores. They were everywhere, buying picture frames, drugs and dentures! The streets were just full and there was a live band playing in a restaurant at 9:30 in the morning! It was like a zoo, way different than PP! I was just standing there gawking at all of them and said to Claudia, "look at all them old people." She turned and looked at me and said, "Char, they are us." I called her a popular variation of witch! LOLOL! Then, I found out at the border crossing back in to California that it is a federal offense to smoke a cigarette in your own car while the agent is talking to you! Huh????? I've crossed at Lukeville 900 times and never heard that before. She was very surly and kept us 10 minutes, asking questions that she knew the answer to already and looking thru the car. She even asked me why I was in Algodones and not Rocky Point! Huh?????? I mean, 2 middle aged women in a 17 year old Buick Park Avenue are soooooooo dangerous! LOLOL! I will go back when I have longer time to spend because it is cool and fascinating and the people are just lovely but I hope we get a different agent on the way back. She sucked all of the cool out of our trip and we were bummed all the way back to Yuma........
