Last Thoughts, Last Blog

Today is Eric's last day of work. He'll go in tomorrow to say goodbye to everyone, come home, then we are headed up to San Jose to spend a week with his parents. His engineering team did goodbye lunch for him (pictured here).

Last night we went out with Eric's friends. We went to a local food truck hangout in Tijuana. These guys have so much fun together! It was fun to try some different Mexican cuisine besides tacos.

Later that evening we stayed with Fred (blue shirt) and Ernie (hat) headed to work. Fred's girlfriend came over and we headed over to the mall.

We went and saw the new movie Pixels (very funny!). They have a section in the theater called "VIP." You enter a lounge area before the movie. You can hang out and eat, then you go into the theater with reclining chairs, and little tables. They have a menu that you can order from and eat an entire meal while you enjoy your movie.

I have really enjoyed the times we have been able to hang out with them!

I have some last items about Mexico that I never got to blog about, so I'd like to do that.

First is our weekly grocery shopping experience. They have all their sweets displayed as such. Gosh, just walking by it is so inticing! We've tried some of the sweets they offer in this area. Most have been good, some not so!

The other thing you will see is meat out in the open. They freeze it overnight, then leave it out on this table. You can use you tongs to grab the open meat. Personally, I find this a bit odd an unsanitary!

Something that you will see a lot of in Mexico are tire shops. The roads are so bad here, that most tires do not last that long. So, instead of paying lots of money for tires, many buy just a cheap set and use them until the road damage forces them to get another cheap set.

 Overall, it is has been a good experience for the both of us. We are happy to be going back to the US, but there are things that we will miss here!

Thank you all for sharing this experience with us!
