Ok, so we didn't actually go into Mexico, but we did drive down to the little town of Nogales, which is right on the border! It was an awesome experience and we really wished we had passports, because it would have been so cool just to walk over. But, we still had a great time walking around. We even had a burrito from a little shop there and it was amazing!! We also saw the huge fence that separates Mexico and the US in that particular town. We were excited to see cigarettes for $32 a carton, but then we realized that we would have to walk over to Mexico if we bought them.
After that, we headed back to Sierra Vista, but on the way we found a lake. Yeah, that might not sound like a big deal, but there is no water anywhere in arizona right now! So, we put our toes in the water for a few minutes and then headed on our way. We also came across a shrine that was built right into the side of a mountain.
After our adventure, we decided to head over to the Mexican restaurant, La Casita, for dinner. That place has some amazing food! We then went over to Lena's aunts house to visit for a while and we were able to watch the sun set behind the mountains. It is actually the view from her front deck!
Then, we headed back to the hotel to get everything packed up and ready for our trip back to Kentucky.
Another amazing day!
