We are considering using dentists in Algodones, Mexico. We have heard from many people that they have found it to be very satisfactory and very inexpensive.
Friends Jane and John offered to give us an introductory tour to Algodones, so we met up with them this morning and headed west in to California, then to the border parking lot. $6 for parking and then we were out of the Jeep to walk across the border.
Crossing into Mexico is no issue; no one checks passports or anything. But we all checked to be sure we had our passports with us to be able to use to get back into the U.S. later in the day.

| A couple of folks came to entertain us while we ate lunch. The first group had two musicians and sang songs. This guy was a one-man band with a guitar and pan flute. He was very good - he had CDs for sale also. |
 |
| The proprietor of the restaurant cooked on a grill out at the street. We had fish tacos that were ono-licious! There were folks continually coming through trying to get us to buy their wares. |
 |
| We stopped in this grocery store - really good prices for produce, and other goods as well. |

Jane and John were terrific tour guides! We really appreciated them taking us over!
