Nuevo Progresso Mexico is about 15 miles from my home in Weslaco, so when one needs antibotics, liqour, a root canal, or homemade tortillas its just as simple as crossing the border. I went along with a cousin, so that she could buy her medications and had so much fun.
After you buy your medications you can relax take a seat and enjoy a taco.
Dentist anyone?.... They're a dime a dozen!
There is always something to buy in the streets..
Where else can you buy antibiotics, margaritas, and get a pedicure all in the same place?
Look at this Gigantic basket.... I stood next to it and it came pretty close to my waist.
El maíz es muy delicioso!
And you can't leave Mexico without buying these fresh tortillas.
They were so, so good.
cant wait to return.

thanks for stopping at at my blog. I could only reply to you this way. Do you want me to help you so you don't have a NOREPLYCOMMENT and people can reply to you? If you do just email me: Kimba962@gmail.com. I would be glad to help. I have never been to Mexico but its on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place! I had to laugh when you said you could get antibiotics, margaritas and a pedicure at the same place. Love that huge basket. It reminds me of a strawberry. I'm sure I'd find SOMETHING to do with it. So glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is your blog! I love the basket it looks like a giant strawberry! That is awesome you can cross the border get medications pedicures and margaritas all in one place! I heard meds are a lot cheaper in Mexico! What a cute and fun post!
ReplyDeleteMarissa, You are HILARIOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteDay trips are so much fun! Great blog....love that basket....did you buy it or is that too personal.
ReplyDeleteNo I did not buy! ..too big!
DeleteHi Marisa - I've been to Progresso also. I have a sister who with her family live in McAllen TX. Everytime we go down to visit her (we are from San Antonio) we try and make it to Weslaco. Progresso has to be one of my very favorite border towns. Nice pictures.

ReplyDeleteI'm ready for the pedicure and margaritas!! ;) blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteHow fun! It's nice that this town is so close to you and you are able to go whenever you want. I've only been to Cancun and what we saw was pretty commercial. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Hugs, Noreen
Hi Marissa, what a fun day out! I bet the tortillas taste so much better than the grocery store's. What kind of recipes do use them in?
ReplyDeleteMarissa, I am so happy that you stopped by my blog because now I have found your blog :)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so lively and colorful...especially that beautiful big basket.
Very nice blog~~~

Though I have lived very close to Mexico (within twenty miles), I have never visited. Looks as if you had a delightful day. I'm sure that your cousin has done her homework on the meds...sounds too bad that she has to resort to going across the border for prescriptions, though.
ReplyDeleteThat is really something! I've never been there so it's fun to hear about the culture there. I love mexican food. In fact, I'm going out to eat that tonight!
ReplyDeleteI've ALWAYS wanted to visit Mexico! One day I will get there :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! ...Cynthia
ReplyDeletewow..i can remember when i got braces there after drinking too much tequila!
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteI love those huge flowers the girl is selling. It must be fun to just be able to run down there. It's just not the same to go up to Canada.
ReplyDeleteHi Marissa
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to pop over the border to visit Mexico!
Looks like you had a great time! Those baskets are lovely & my mouth was watering when you mentioned the tortillas!!
I think I would have skipped the dentist there LOL!!
Thank you for visiting me and I'm now following you too.

I wanted to thank you for the conchas recipe. We tried it last night (with a few variations to make up for what we had on hand) and it was a big hit with everyone. I think this will become a regular favorite in our household.
DeleteThat is awesome!!!
DeleteHi Marissa...
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I loved this post - it reminds me of when I lived in Tuscon, AZ and traveled over the border to Nogales. Fresh Tortillas...mmmmmmmmm.
Your post about your First Home was beautiful!
Jan ♥

DeleteIt has been forever since I have visited there Nuevo Progresso, I remember the fresh warm tortillas and the avocados well, so yummy .... sigh! I wish I was that close , living in the Valley has its perks i miss the Valley . I am building a new home in Dayton , Texas so I will even be farther now :(
ReplyDeleteYou are moving how exciting!!! Post pics please love, love homes!!! You can always come to the Valley and enjoy Progresso!
DeleteOh how interesting, I would love to go to Mexico with someone like you who knows your way around

DeleteAAAH!! Mexico!!! What a place its truely time just slowed down. It takes me back! The humility of the culture and people. The simplicity of all things old.The mid afternoon siestas! and yes the Margaritas! We are very lucky to live so close!
