Thanksgiving Border Crossing @ Laredo
StreetVendors in Laredo a whole lot for sale!
When we crossed the Border at Laredo it seemed like the entire population of Northern Mexico was either trying to cross one of the 3 International Bridges or selling something at the crossroads to the motorists waiting to drive through the immigration checkpoints. It was rather like a traveling Mercado. Vendors were walking through the crowded streets selling everything from grilled corn & jewelry to Mexican National Flags items & huge Corona beer mugs! An hour & 15 minutes it took to get through the crowded streets of Laredo.

What did you buy? I know you couldn't pass up the traveling mercado.
Nada! Wanted to just get out of the traffic & home to Austin!!!
The border pictures of traffic lining up brings to mind traveling across the George Washington bridge in NY over thanksgiving!
The traffic jam brings out the standard/universal handsignals, honking & frustration that there is no language needed for.
