Thanks for checking in on us. We have arrived at Knox Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, where we will be spending the night. Prior to bunking down on a hard floor, we head out for a little dinner and some "rock & roll bowling."
We had a good day of driving, a couple of little diversions coming out of Mexico - two of the vans got separated from the rest and crossed at a different border crossing. Three of the vans and the truck with the trailer got pulled into secondary screening at the border. Van 1, with all of the bags for everyone on the trip (stacked floor to ceiling) was not favorable to the border folks. However after looking at it (and us) for a while, they decided that we were probably not drug or weapons smugglers and they just didn't have the enthusiasm to empty it out. They let us pass.
One of the vans had mechanical issues after crossing the border. Well maybe it had issues prior to that, but we just didn't feel inclined to worry about it until it started that irritating beeping and the air conditioner quit working. Anyway, we traded it in for another van. It turns out the new one only holds eight people instead of twelve. So, we're a little more cozy and friendly now.
Everyone is doing great and having a good time. We look forward to seeing you all.
