Algadones Mexico



Menu in Algadones

Drove down to Algadones yesterday..about a 2 1/2 hour trip from here. We parked in a huge parking lot and walked across the Border into Mexico. Algadones is basically a yucky town that caters to Americans and Canadians buying prescriptions,glasses,cigarettes,booze and having dental work done. Typical in Mexico, we ran the gauntlet of " Hey lady you need some glasses or dental work? Come and look at my jewelry...special sale for you today" We spent the night at the Quechan Resort Casino nearby (on the CA side). It opened earlier this year so it's nice and new and clean. Had a great buffet dinner...2 for 1 and it was like Thanksgiving with turkey,mashed potatoes and gravy. The best part for me however was the chocolate fountain at the dessert table. Yum.

We made it home before the wind storm hit. There is a stretch of road on the way to Algadones (and Yuma AZ) that runs through the Imperial Dunes Recreation area and it would have been a dusty,blowing mess down there.
