Nuevo Progreso is an interesting border town. Its main draw is for U.S. citizens needing dental work or prescription drugs. Everywhere I looked was dental offices and pharmacies. We ask around and found the going rate for a tooth crown is around $200. You can get just about any U.S. prescription drug over the counter there. Getting the meds back in to the U.S. is where the problem arises. I believe I’ll stick with U.S. prescribed meds.
In line to park on the U.S. side of the border. It costs $2 to park and $1 to enter Mexico. Notice the big warning sign. No weapons or ammo allowed. The cartels must be exempt.

We had lunch Tony’s Bar and Grill in Nuevo Progresso. They had a stage coach in the lobby!
Wow. You finally made it to Mexico. You got to love those long lines of traffic. The cheapest dental work has never had much appeal to me! I notice you didn’t mention stopping there to see the dentist! Glad you all are having a great time. I bet the food was great.
