Brita's First Trip to Mexico

Well, to be completely honest it was my second trip.  My first trip was in May 2000, but that was  our honeymoon ages ago!  This was my first trip to Tamaulipas, Mexico.  It was so fun to finally go across the border and to top it off we were able to do some Christmas shopping.  I enjoyed all of it- the walk across the international bridge, the vendors, the tacos, the sweet bread, and getting to spend time with Josh and our friends from To Every Tribe.  It was a wonderful day!  I'm going to post some pictures below but, all the northerners reading this have to promise not to laugh at how wimpy we southerners are.  It was windy and in the low 40's... I know, pitiful compared to 20 below zero or colder!  But you can come down and visit us in the south arctic.... just saying :)

In Mexico!

We found a Mexican Costco.  That's a big bag of peanuts!

Lunch from a street vendor.  It was so good!

Sweet bread and coffee on our way out.  

It was a good day!
