Today, finally, a health care bill passed that will provide some much needed reforms of the health insurance industry and extend health insurance to millions. It's not the perfect bill, that's for sure, but after many years and attempts by many presidents, we finally have come to a turning point that we hope will improve healthcare and save lives.
On another note, today we finally made it to Mexico. Somehow every time we planned a trip, either the weather or illness intervened, but today was a lovely, warm sunny day. The town of Nuevo Progreso closed off the main street and had entertainment and a general street fair atmosphere for Winter Texan Appreciation Day today. We strolled up and down the street, taking in the sights and sounds, and ran into only one couple we knew (Jim and Judy from our C-1 class).
We had some margaritas at our favorite bar, sitting by the fountain, and stopped in at Jessica's Pharmacy for a Z-Pack just in case. We ate some steak tacos and listened to the mariachis. Ken asked some "typical" Winter Texans if they'd mind his taking their photo. You can see their shirts are covered with souvenir ribbons and little hats handed out by the shops.
Tecate dancers provide local color.We went to Ruben's and got our hair cuts (for a total of $11 for both of us, including the tips).
