A couple random photos of Bucerias. I tried the street hamburgers today, 2 x 35 pesos. Not a lot of substance as the burger was about as thin as the cheese, but if you're cheap, I mean frugal, then it will fill you. No, I wasn't able to eat both. Took them home.

Part 3 of 4 on Customs & Immigration…..Welcome to Mexico!
Congratulations, you made it. On the outside chance that I got lost, my bus broke down, or I simply forgot, don’t panic.


You may have noticed a few ATM machines, go ahead and get some pesos. You will need them to buy me a cerveza. (beer) Remember the exchange rate is about 12:1 That means if you select 1000 pesos, you are only getting about $85. The fee for ATMs is about $3.50 whether you get 1000, 2000, or 3000 pesos. Do the math, get enough pesos for the week. (hint: 3000 pesos) Don’t worry about getting too much, I will buy back whatever you don’t use. If you don’t like ATMs, then use the Money Exchange booths. Your choice.
If you’re still wearing jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, black socks, work boots, and a winter jacket, STRIP. You’re going to overheat in 10 minutes, if you haven’t already. Duck into a bathroom (Hombre Banos for guys), and put on something really comfortable, we’re going to do some walking before you get to mi casa.
Now the adventure begins. You are in Mexico with Juan Marcos. Be afraid! We’re going to have some fun. More than likely you will have had a long day. Don’t worry, I will get you back to my condo, where you can unwind, take a shower, or a siesta, or have a shot of tequila. (or all three) I don’t plan anything strenuous on the first day. Heck, I don’t plan anything strenuous any day!
Welcome to Mexico!!!!
