This is our first trip to MX ( this year ) which is only 7 miles from our Park. We went with our friends from Brandon ( Holly and Larry ) and our reason to go, was for Carroll and Holly to get a Pedicure and for me to get a hair cut and for Both Larry and I to get a shoe shine. The Pedicure is 12.00, a haircut 5.00 and the shoeshine is 2.00. You have got to wonder how they can make enough money to feed themselves, never mind a family. The shoe shine guys said that he lives in Monterrey but comes to Progresso from Dec to April because he can make more money from us Grigos.
We did walk around and the ladies did some "unnecessary " shopping but that goes with the territory . We stopped at a local restaurant for lunch and it was full Winter Texans. The food was great, plentiful and very reasonable Beer is 1.50. Our lunch cost 25.00 for both of us.
This evening we had tickets for a Roy Orbison ( pretender ) but he did come with a 4 piece band so the music was worth the 14.00 we paid for the tickets. There are lots of wantabe singer that pass thru all the parks during the winter months. I kind of snicker when there bio says "played at Mickey Gilley's concert hall " in Branson, MI and then you find out that they open for the professional. However, for 5 or 10 dollars , most are worth the money.
I have been to some shows when the price was "by collect" and most folks, us include are gone by intermission. cheers
