Tonight we are in Nogales, preparing to make the trip to Alamos in the morning. I'm told the border opens at 6am. and there are a number of things we need to have/do prior to going.. Tourist visa, Mexican auto insurance, and after we enter, we must stop at kilometer 21 to get an auto permit. It's an adventure, and a little scary too, as you are told to have several copies.
But then we will be on our way, and we'll have two months of blissful coolness...or cool blissfulness whatever you like!
