After we walked across the border, we went to the SANI Dental Group in Algodonas for two dental cleanings. It was a first come, first served type of office. We waited a while and then Peg was called in. I sat outside for a while longer, then I was called in. My cleaning was done by a male dental assistant and Peg had a female. My cleaning went fine but Peg's did not go as smoothly!The female assistant found that Peg had two small cavities and a filling that was cracked. When she drilled Pegs cavity out, she slipped, twice, and drilled into the underside of Peg's tongue. Ouch! She also did a poor job of filling the cracked filling and did not smooth it out. Peg was NOT a happy camper! Looks like she will have a couple of things redone when we get back to North Carolina.
The rest of the time in Algodonas, we shopped around for
gifts for friends. We found some neat items. Of course we were on a liquor run as well! For lunch we ate shrimp tacos at a place several people recommended. They were quite good. We also walked in several marketplaces. They were very colorful areas and we enjoyed hanging out there and watching the people.
We were back in the walk line to get across the border by about 12:15pm and it was already long. It took us 45 minutes to cross and get to where we parked the car.
