Waiting to come back home

You've seen some of Agodonis MX, now look at the lines getting out. You must remember that the check is for your protection. Of course I doubt that any terrorist will be walking through the gate. Many folks feel it's by design to discourage people from going over to get medication. When you are on a limited income you don't mind waiting in line to save money. The people in the line are jovial. They speak with each other, tell stories and tall tails, exchange information and knowledge and are willing to help one learn how to deal and get around in Mexico. It's a great group of people to stand in line with.



The top picture is where we first got into the line. For a perspective look in the center top and you will see a tall tree. That tree is about half way to the final curve in the line

To the left you see that tree again on the right side of the picture as we move along. Now remember these people are not crossing the border just for their looks. They are doing it to get a Chiropractic treatment for $30.00. To get a set of tri-focals for less than $200 and that includes examination. To get, meds of course, and even though some of them might be generic they are as much as 80% off stateside prices. They are here to get a new set of denturs, while the wait for less than $200. In this experience I learned there are a lot of people that do not have health benefits and it is mostly not their fault. I've seen a part of the 40 million.





We reached the tree, and the restroom, and the benches and the shade. To many it is a welcomed spot. The sun takes no mercey on you down here and a hat can be your best friend. That and a cold bottle of water.


We are still not at the end of the line. As you look at the center point of the picture you can just see the turning point. Another 25 yards after that and you will be in the trailer with as many as three Border Patrol members checking your bag and passport and then passing you through.

After making that journey and walking back to the parking lot I looked back to see where the line was now. It is longer than it was when we got in it. Much longer. They are now going up the hill and along with them climbs the rising temperture of the day. And there are more coming every second. No that is not the tree on your right. From this vantage point you can't even see it.
