Lordy! Lordy! There is a Sun in TX. Who knew??? We have been waiting on a sunny day so we could make another trip to MX as Carroll wanted a 7.00 hair cut and we needed to visit the dentist for a teeth cleaning. Since we have not been here for 5 years we ask the neighbor if they could recommend a dentist which they did.
So off we go to Progresso , MX ( 7 miles away ) . Apparently we were not the only ones waiting for sunny weather to visit MX as the parking lot was nearly full. Anyhow we found the dentist that was recommended but there was about 12 people waiting and anyone who knows me; lining up is not my strong suite so we did not even go into the office. There are a host of dentist in Progresso so there is no need to wait for hours for a simple teeth cleaning. We went about a 100 feet and the dental office name was Maria Tuttle and I recall that she did some dental work for me about 10 years ago and there was only 3 people waiting. We went in and ask the wait time for a teeth cleaning and they said "right now" so Carroll went first and she could find a hair Salon and get her hair cut while I got my teeth cleaned. The cost for teeth cleaning is 25.00 and the best part is that you don't get a "Lecture" about flossing.
Maria Tuttle has 2 dentist and two Hygiene Tech working in her office and I was told she doesn't work full time anymore. Also interesting is that she does not live in MX she live across the border in the USA.
I have been told ( not sure if it is true ) that Dental student's tuition is paid by another Dentist and then the graduate repays the Dentist who supported them when they get a job. It does seem like a good idea so the student loan is not a Gov't responsibility.
While waiting for Carroll to get her hair cut, I checked out the local bar and drummed up a conversation with two other guys doing the same but I hope they were not driving because they we "sipping" all the Tequila in the bar.
We then did a little shopping for candy, cookies, vanilla and cinnamon and then left MX behind for this year.
Oh, I should add that we picked up 3 DVD's; Unbroken, Begin Again and The theory of Everything for 10.00. We were also told that you are not allow to bring Name Brand purse such as " Gucci " across the border. Cheers
