Overall Experience: smile

Palomas, Mexico

We were told that we must visit the Pink Store in Palomas, Mexico. So off we went to experience this unique store and have lunch. Crossing the border was pretty painless. We parked on the U.S. side and walked across.

When entering the store, you are greeted with a complimentary margarita. We guess this is to encourage shopping or, in Robt’s case, to ease the pain of shopping. Actually, it was a fun store to browse around in and had some really cool stuff for sale at very reasonable prices. But the fact that we live in an RV, we never have to worry about making too big a purchase. Diana did get a nice pair of silver earrings, and we picked a bottle of good tequila — heck, we were in Mexico, and that seemed fitting.

The lunch we were served was delicious and quite enjoyable. We had Grilled Tilapia Chipotle smothered in onions, mushrooms, chopped chipotle peppers, cheese-stuffed Chile Relleno, and a bowl of House Soup with potatoes, poblano pepper strips, and Queso Menonita. Of course, we had a second round of margaritas with the meal while being entertained by a couple of mariachi singers.

Then a short walk back to the border with passports in hand and a quick drive back to the campground.
