Day 13-
Today is the big day!
We're going to the US Consulate.
Well, that was a let down.
-No passports.
-Did not even get in the door.
-Waited in line, outside, for 45 minutes to talk through a bulletproof window to someone that English was not their first language.
-Was told to go try and cross the border with no paperwork, and if they rejected us, to come back the next day.
My pre-conceived idea that as a US Citizen I could go to a US Embassy or US Consulate and be treated with some sort of caring or recognition that they wanted to help a fellow citizen...well that notion was totally squashed.
See the video below for more on the fiasco.
So back "home" again.
Day 14-
We are going to hook up...
...load up...
...and try and cross the border with no ID.
Two hours later, still in line.
No cameras allowed at the actual border crossing.
Mary is one happy camper!
After 15 minutes, the Border Agent let us back into the USA. A huge load of stress gone!
Less than an hour later we are in the San Diego, California, USA Walmart parking lot!
We're here to do some shopping, and go to the Verizon store to get our stolen phones replaced.
We got the groceries, but not the phones. Even though we had all our passwords and could answer all the security questions. They could not replace them without ID, which we still don't have. lol
That's ok. We have enough cash to get enough gas to get us to Bagdad, Arizona, where we are meeting Kurt to do some riding!
On the road we go! Drove til the Golden Acorn Casino, about halfway between Alpine and El Centro, Cali.
Tomorrow we will be in Arizona!
Here's a video with some of what we went thru trying to get out of Mexico-
Arizona and Riding in the USA coming soon!!!
