We got up early today, and headed to Los Angoldones,Mexico with our neighbours, Sonny and Pat.

 Sonny and Pat's 5th wheel

 Our polished BB and car

Los Algodones is a small place right across the border, it apparently has the most dental, optometry and pharmacies in a four block area, in the world. 

In addition, sidewalk vendors were everywhere, something which Vadie and I were not used to is the constant bombardment of Mexicans trying to sell their wares.

However, Vadie could not hold back and purchased a very lovely bowl, Mexican style.

We also purchased liquor and medication for the dogs as it was fairly cheap.

and also very large marshmallows

On the way home, we went and had lunch at Penny’s diner.  Very nice restaurant, unique and good food.

In the afternoon, I jacked the coach up and with the help of Herb, I crawled under the coach and fiqured out what the problem was with the left front jack – the jack indicating switch broke and blew out.  I could not find another switch, so I plugged it with a screw and O-rings. 

Herb put in 5 quarts of oil into the system then we raised and lowered the jacks to get the air out.  The left front jack just kept sinking into the dirt even with lumber underneath it, so I will have to get some larger pieces of wood.

Special People today – Sonny and Pat, our neighbours.  They wish we could stay longer, but who knows, we might come back for a little longer.
