Typical Touristy Day

Hi! Okay, I know I’m going a little crazy with the camera lately but I want you to see everything I see!!! Get comfy, this is gonna be a long one…..Today was a typical touristy day!
This morning we went to Mexico from 9am to 11am….I brought my eyeglasses prescription with me in the RV from home because I wanted to get some eye glasses in Mexico. I have a pair of glasses now that I got from my eye doctor back home and I requested a prescription written because I knew I would be visiting Mexico and wanted to explore their eyeglasses style. (Did I just repeat myself – sigh – senior moment). So, anyways, we went to Mexico this morning and..ohhhhh….they have all the brand name eye glasses down here – Prada, Gucci, Versace, and they even have a brand here that I’ve never heard of before called “Casino”!!! I don’t care how they look on me……I love them already!
Oh, prices…….the prices between eye doctor offices in Mexico vary because they are all craving for your business, but with the transitional and anti-scratch lenses, and frame, the Casino brand ones that I want are $109.00 complete. Not bad huh? I might get two pairs of glasses! They have neat eye glasses styles down there……anyways, I got a few pictures of Mexico today…..
Don’t know why this picture came out hazy…..anyways, this is the police car in Mexico – ha, like you can’t figure that out, huh :)
We went to the bakery today in Mexico and you see on the top shelf is loaves of bread…well, they are 30 cents each. Very good bread, we bought 3 of them today…..
Everything is for sale in Mexico – these here are 60 dollars. Well, they started off at 60 dollars. When I started to walk away, they guy brought the price down to 40 dollars and then again down to 30 dollars. I kept walking…….
Oh, we went to the liquor store to buy Dad some cigarettes. This is Margarita mix – no, I didn’t buy any liquor today, but I wanted to show you the price…….
Ohhhh, this is the place I was looking at frames for new glasses!!! :) I can’t wait to take my prescription back and see which ones I decide on……
Okay, moving on, after we left Mexico around 11am, we headed over to the Quechan Casino which is on the same road to go home (how convenient!) and I walked in with $100 and walked out with $84 dollars, so I lost, but not too much. We ate lunch at the buffet and I didn’t have to pay a dime – I had COMP points on my magic players card that paid for my buffet! You can’t lose with a buffet, all the food is really good, but when the buffet is free somehow it just tastes sooooo much better!!! :)
So, we left the casino and flipped through our tourist magazine we got free in Yuma and saw that there was a Antique Car Museum in Bard, California – not far at all, right next to that Imperial Date Factory we went to earlier in the week. About 30 miles away. So we stopped by there and checked out the place…..
We are still exploring…..do you see what I see????? Is it a….??
It IS a slot machine…..Oh, boy! Yesss……Do I touch, do I not touch??? Hmmmmm…….
Yeah! Let’s touch!!! :) Nickle goes in…….
Hang on and let er rip!!!!
Oh, it actually works!!! LOOK at those reels spin!!!! I won 3 nickles……..
Okay enough with the slot machine…..didn’t want to break it…….moving on to do other exploring…….
Okay, that’s what we did today. And tonight we are having dinner at the rec hall here. We bought tickets for a steak dinner for $6. We bring our ticket, they provide the steak and we have to cook it ourselves on the grill. Pay for it and cook it ourselves?? Hmmmm…..I’ll let ya know how mine comes out – Ha! Have a good night and I’ll bug ya tomorrow.
