    Well Laredo Tx. or Nuevo Laredo Mx.?

    I’m about 3-4hrs far from there…

    I’m Right Where the Gulf of Mรฉxico Meets Mx. & USA. “the bellybutton of the world”

    Why do you ask?

    Daniel, Laredo Texas is the nearest we have got to Mexico. We walked over the bridge into Mexico, had a walk around for a few hours then walked back.
    There is a giant Mexican flag flying over New Laredo, never seen a flag so big before, we could see it miles away as we were heading that way.
    Also 1st time we had seen the Rio Grande.
    Beautiful country.

    Forgot to ask, hope you missed the latest hurricane?

    Well New Laredo Is A beutifull town, and Im glad you liked it. (Long trip Hu? )

    The Closest Hurricane threat we had was EMily that hit the south of the state about an 1 hour from here, it was quite an experience. like 2 months a go.
    then was Katrina who hit New Orleans and Rita who Just Hit Texas and Lousiana I think. We were in a Yellow emergency Hurricane watch.

    My Wife’s Cousin Just left last Monday To Study in England (I think)
    I don’t know exactly wich school or town he is in. He lived in Brownsville Tx. and his Sister is in Scotland Studying Too.

    I’ve seen some Pictures and those Countries Are Beutifull Too.
    Hope Some Day I Can Make The Trip over there.

    Hi and welcome, nice car,
    How long have you been doing signs? What sort of work do you mainly get in Mexico, do you do many vans or commercial vehicles?
    101 questions from me, sorry ๐Ÿ˜€

    Hi mate, a warm welcome from downunder in australia.

    Went to the USA Mexico border in ’83.

    Don’t remember a lot as we were ona bus tour and all they were interested in doing was sending us in to the local tourist shops. Would have much rather seen the sights
