Crossing into Mexico

 This is the wall at the US Mexican Border.  From here we went an additional 2 to 3 miles to reach the Mexican crossing.  We didn't see the sign for motor homes and started through a lane and was told to back up we were in the wrong one.  We can not back up with the Jeep attached.  So had to get out and unhook the Jeep.  We backed up and Tom took the motor home through the correct lane.  I tried to follow and was flagged to go back around and enter through a different lane.  This was because, now I was a single car and couldn't follow Tom.

At kilometer 21 we stopped for our visitor visas and vehicle permits.  But there was construction going on and the normal lanes were closed!  We drove very slowly to figure out where we were to park and enter so we didn't miss the parking lot and registration booths.  Once all the paperwork and payments were made we went to inspection.  They looked at our paperwork and waved us through without entering the motor home.  What luck that was.  In Hermasillo we were stopped at a red light and the man in front of us got out and waved at our motor home.  We thought, oh no a flat tire, but that can't be because we have sensors on all the tires that would tell us.  He ran to our rig and said the compartment door was open.  We asked him to slam it shut and we were both on our way again when the light changed to green.  What a nice person to help us!  We stopped for gas later in the day and Tom figured out that he got scammed.  The gas station attendant got an additional $500.00 pesos.  So what a fun day.

Now have crossed into the state of Sinaloa and we have gone from brown landscape to nice green landscape.  Also the temperature has increased dramatically to 90+ degrees.
