#2 Feel under-dressed because I was not wearing a sparkly belt and cowboy boots.
#3 House-sit for and hang out with Catholic nuns.
#4 Do my best to triage a patient over the phone, in Spanish, at 1am
#5 Walk to Mexico...Yep, I finally made it! About 15 min from my house there's a place where you can walk over the border (with your passport as of June 1st). The first thing we saw was a dental surgery clinic. In fact the whole first 1/2 mile I'd say of this town, called Nuevo Progresso, is dental clinics and pharmacies, with some surgeons and general practice docs sprinkled in. And then that is all surrounded by people hawking yummy treats, sunglasses, t-shirts, liquor, and handicrafts. It's una locura (crazy sight, madness), especially considering on the other side of the border lies nothing but tranquil farm land. They must do some huge business when all the "Winter Texans," ie the old midwesterners, come down for the winter.
Dental clinics galore
"Don't let your gun get rusty, use it. Ammunition here." It also appears that they are selling Viagra?
