What Country Do I Live In?

Molly, Audra and I decided to go shopping today in downtown Laredo. The Laredo magazine described it as...
"Where visitors can experience the old world charm of the huslte and bustle of downtown bargain shopping. Lace up your walking shoes, thorw on some SPF and get ready for a shopping experience unlike any other."
A shopping experience unlike any other was an understatement! We headed north for the shopping experience of a lifetime, to our surprise when we got there it was RIGHT ON THE BORDER. I mean the street we were on was where people were walking across with their suitcases ready to shop! We were the ONLY white people that we saw all day and I'm pretty sure the only people who were speaking english. I have never felt so out of place...even when I went to Mexico. At least when I was on vacation in Mexico I was aware(and excited) that I was somewhere besides the United States and it was fun to experience something different. Today was so weird because I really didn't feel like I fit in, at all. It was the weirdest thing. Anyway we really did have fun...I'm not too sure that we'd go back down there again but maybe!
