Many people here in the countryside will have at least one avocado tree in their yard as well.<br /><br />Valle de Juarez itself isn't smoggy at all but sometimes the wind will push some of the smog from Guadalajara into the distance which could be what you might see far off in the distance. Also the Colima volcano isn't all that far away and it has been fairly active over the year or so, so it is possible that it has also blown this way.

I had to have a crown done in Algodones a year ago and we were pissed that ALL the prices were in US$ which made the procedure even more expensive for us, still it was way better than what the price would have been in Canada.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-15856095976637390102016-03-04T09:04:41.703-05:002016-03-04T09:04:41.703-05:00I don't know about Optometrists but we know fo...I don't know about Optometrists but we know for sure that if you can find a good dentist away from the border towns and the tourists areas it is even cheaper and the dentist here in Valle de Juarez is a great dentist! Just another reason why we love this area. Still if you can't make it inland then even the border is better for prices than Canada, the one thing we don't like about the border is they charge in US$ which we don't agree with!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-72856992823966804822016-03-03T21:42:20.753-05:002016-03-03T21:42:20.753-05:00Mmmmm, I love avocados -- when I lived in Southern...Mmmmm, I love avocados -- when I lived in Southern California (a lifetime ago), I had a huge, really huge tree in my yard, and all the avocados I could eat!

As you have traveled Mexico, do you ever go on day hikes? (5-8 miles round trip) Are there many established trails to hike? I truly enjoy reading your posts. Hope to see you on the road someday.
