Santiago MX Tour

Chris arrived at 1000 to take us on a tour. We feel guilty about this but he and Juan insist.

Great trip to the Cola de Caballo (Spanish for "Horse Tail") waterfall about 40 km (25 mi) from Monterrey, Mexico, in the town of Villa de Santiago, Nuevo León. Was great seeing life in Mexico in the small villages. The Falls are amazing. Chris says the water is low now and the falls are not as power full as usual. Some pictures.

Then we went to the Santiago town square and walked around. Last night's restaurant is here. This was Robin's first Mexican Town Square experience.

Then to H.E.B supermarket. What a place. Things we are used to are here. A first class business. The veggies and fruit are amazing.

Like in Europe, eggs are not refrigerated

Why yes, that is a Lowes across the street

To end the day, Chris and Juan invited us to their beautiful house for steaks. And, the dogs were invited too!!! Another great evening of conversation. Awesome people. Awesome hosts.

I had warned Robin that the only negative in Mexico, in my opinion, was noise, especially on weekends. That proved accurate last night. 20 year old group of guys and gal stayed in the cabin right across from us and played the radio all night. BUT, they were very nice, friendly, not drunk, not obnoxious. They were just enjoying a weekend and their culture likes loud music. Their country. We are guests. No big deal. We can nap later.

PS Casey and Andi: RV friends just had a teeth cleaning in Mexico. The DENTIST did the cleaning. Cost: 200 pesos ($11.80) . First class job.
