Still in Nogales, we were hungry late at night. So we stopped at a hot dog stand. Similar to most American hot dog stands, only better. For starters they have dogs wrapped in bacon and grilled onions. They also have a wide assortment of garnish. From guacamole to mushrooms. Cotilla cheese to salsa. It ruled. Give it a go next time you are in town. American hot dog stands, take note.
A Night on the Town
Guacamole plus margaritas and some other frosty treats equals a great evening. We even caught a film. The spanish subtitles help me learn. We found ourselves a hotel for the evening and an ATM (mexican ATMs make me feel rich). Some of the streets here are god awful. One mexican driver accidentally drove into some kind of drainage cliff in the middle of the street. (photo of hole) He looked over at us for help. Help to lift his car out of the ditch. I was wondering how many people it would take to actually lift the front of this car out of the ditch. Three. Lets hope we earned some karma points for the mechanic tomorrow.
Smoke is bad right?
OK, so the supra isn’t perfect. It was doing fine until some hose broke or cracked, or something and the car started to overheat in the worst traffic imaginable just inside Nogales. We tried to make it to a mechanic, but the car stopped just 50 feet from one. They were kind enough to help us push it the rest of the way. I guess we’ll camp here for the night.
Post Script. . .
Looks like it’s just a seal, if we can locate one today, we can hit the road today, otherwise we are stuck here until monday or tuesday. No one works Sunday.

No one has parts for an 88 Supra. So we hacked something together and it is being assembled today (Monday). Wish us luck.
We bedded down in Tucson where they have “A” Mountain. Wow, i’m so glad we came. After a bit of blogging and email, we’re off to Nogales to cross over in to Mexicaña.
A quick stop in Palm Springs for supper.
After a bit of a late start, we were on the road by 3:30pm.
