Nuevo Progresso was just a mud road village when I went there. Very primitive and poor.
Matamoros wasn’t half bad. I told you about us getting lost on foot there one night, right? Can’t do that today and live.
Harlingen fond memories. Spent New Year’s eve under a palm tree in a hot tub and drinking champagne.
Yeah, Progresso had dirt streets when we first went, and if it rained and got muddy we sometimes threw our shoes away later, lol. But, it grew and had tons of stores with really nice stuff - my house is full of carved wood, talavera and silver stuff.
Matamoros was like a ‘maze’ and you could get lost inside it. The last visit to Progresso had Mexican Soldiers behind bales of hay, they were supposedly guarding the bridge to keep drug runners from trying to drive across. It was scary.
Glad you had some good times down there too, all things change......;(
