Yuma Arizona border

My wife and I are staying near Yuma and thought we'd walk into Los Algodones for the afternoon. We heard that people go there for dental work and prescriptions. And is that ever true, I couldn't count all of the clinics. The meds are right there too. I spoke with one guy that said it was cheaper for him to fly from Wisconsin and have a root canal done in Mexico rather than have it done in Wisconsin. Unbelievable.
My other observation was that we walked right into Mexico. No one asked who we were, how long are you staying. Just walked on in. Getting back was totally different. The line was over 1/4 mile. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to get back. There were 3 officers checking passports. I haven't heard anything about the white hoards crossing the border every afternoon
Lol. Anyway we had a good time and made it back w/o a problem just sore feet from waiting.
Have a great Valentine's day.
