To The Border

We felt good, had our Thai food, and we were ready for the second part of our drive. We knew once we start driving there was no turning back, and we were on our way to the beaches of El Golfo in Mexico.

We drove past Yuma as the sun vanished behind the Desert Mountains. No music, no talking, just absorbing the moment as we were leaving the US behind. MapQuest gave us confusing and inaccurate directions, but got us as far as San Luis, the border and the first city in Mexico.

There it is, The Border, as the sign reads clearly “SAN LUIS RIO COLORADO, SONORA MEXICO”. We were amazed to see no Mexican border attendants, just random Green and Red lights for security checks. We got GREEN and past the border.
