Matamoros Trip 2008 - A Different Take - Same Story
i left corpus christi, tx. at 9:00 am in order to get a good head start on the border run mission. there were numerous police along the way, all of whom were looking for speeders and drug traffickers. i made it to the border without troubles.
once in brownsville, texas, i went to mcdonald’s just to get something to eat to fend off the alcohol i would soon consume. i finally found the place to park my car, and i was soon walking across the border into mexico.
as soon as i was in mexico, i was harassed by the "touts" who ask you if you need a doctor, dentist, or a woman. i replied "no gracias, yo se a donde voy", which means. no thanks, i know where i am going?
i walked probably 2 miles, saving 8 dollars, to get to my hotel. yes, i had a map of the city, or at least a map of where i wanted to go. after checking 3 hotels, i chose to stay in the hotel that was very near the market. the room was extremely small, as one may see in the photos, but it was nice and clean.
once i had checked into my hotel, had a shower, and dressed, i went to walk about the town. disregarding the warning from the hotel clerk, i walked up calle dies, where 2 women asked me if i wanted to have sex for $35 us. i actually spoke to them for a while, in order to get the spanish practice, but eventually i told them "maybe later". i would never engage in that. ok, so this is the first part of the story. i will write more later. if any of my writings offend any of you, please let me know and i will not copy you on them. oh! btw, while i was speaking to the "females", a mexican police officer just happened to be driving right by. i guess it is good that i kept my nose clean. je je je?
friday evening i had a date with a woman who lives in matamoros whom i met online. we were to meet at a café in downtown matamoros and then take a cab to this irish restaurant. i was unable to find the irish restaurant in the phone book even with the help of the hotel concierge so i asked the concierge to call her. ok, i had to make sure this place actually existed for my own personal safety. i took a cab to the café, which is called sanborn’s café, but i had trouble finding her. thank goodness i have an international plan on my cell phone. i called her twice, and even had a local help me speak with her, before i finally found her. she is a pretty woman but the pictures she sent to me via e-mail did not show what she really looked like. i guess internet dating is the same in mexico as it is in the usa. je je je. in any case we had a nice dinner together. we spoke to each other using a mix of spanish and english. she is a college student who is currently studying english. in fact her college professor actually gave her extra credit for our date! je je je? we are friends now and that is cool.
after i had a cab take her to her apartment i went to a liquor store. now this was indeed interesting. in mexico they have cute young women wearing those latin short-shorts dancing in front of the liquor store with loud music blaring away. ok, so i got some rum and headed back to my hotel room. while the hotel room was extremely small, as i have mentioned before, it did have an electronic room safe which i found to be very cool.
saturday morning i awakened and decided to skip the complimentary breakfast offered by the hotel. my main mission for today was to finish off my shopping and get headed back to corpus christi. i have to tell you that a tall white guy like me sticks out like a sore thumb in mexico, much like china. shop keepers that i spoke with almost all said they recognized me from when i was walking around friday afternoon. you’ll be happy to know that chinese made scooters are very popular in mexico. i wish i had documented the prices, but as i recall they were very inexpensive compared to what they sell for in the us. while shopping i purchased a set of onyx coasters, a bolo tie, a t-shirt, and of course a coffee mug. i’m collecting coffee mugs from every city i travel to in latin america. basically any non-us cities.
i checked out of my hotel room and headed for the border. crossing into mexico was a piece of cake. i just paid my 30 cents and in i went. crossing back into the us was a completely different ordeal. the line to cross was an hour long and then the us border patrol agent starts asking me a bunch of questions. sheesh! they let mexicans cross without any trouble at all. when they get to me, an obvious citizen, they decide to give me a bunch of grief. i finally crossed and headed back to the house.

3 day weekend-Matamoros and Reynosa
Trip report for last Thurs/Friday. Had a three day weekend so I decided to go Matamoros on Thursday and Reynosa on Friday. I have a couple of regulars that treat me well or maybe try to find a new regular. Kinda like fishing, you never know what you might catch with money for bait. Made my usual reservation at La Fontana Inn because it is walking distance from both Club Envidia and Club Paradise. I have been stopped at the Hidalgo boarder and thrown into jail for pi and had my car impounded. So now I am very careful about crossing. I usually stay overnight or pay a cab driver to cross me back into the states. I have also been with a friend who was drunk driving in Mexico and had to pay off transit police before. I hate it when I'm not in control of the situation. Make sure like everyone says to convert your dollars into pesos it, helps alot especially with the propinas. Club Paradise is ok and a should see if in Reynosa but the girls seem to be pretty lazy unless they know you. The waiters take a very long time with change and I have had to on more than one occassion ask for it. Not a good situation if you are drunk because they can really take advantage of you. There were probably 20 girls there. I left after about an hour and half and walked over to Club Paradise. A girl I have met on several occasions was working and immediatly came over. She said she rememberd me from Club Koko. In Progresso. I did not remember her but she said I had taken her upstairs. I asked her if it was an especial and she said yes so I took her for her word. The girls at Club Paradise do hustle and there were a few 7s and 8s which could have been 9s or 10s after a few drinks. There were about 15 girls working. There were a couple of girls with nice racks but a little on the chunky side. Definitly doable though. Quite a varitey there. The waiters are friendly and bring change back alot quicker. Bought friend 1 or 2 copas and took her to the back for BBBJ. I invited her to my hotel not thinking she would take me up on it and she said ok unconvincingly. I was really tired and moderatly drunk so I walked back to my hotel and fell asleep. About 4am I hear a weak knock on the door, it was her. She treated me very well and she was either very enthusiastic or a good enough actress that I was worried about complaints from the room next door. Prices vary 600-1600 pesos depending on what you want and if they know or like you I imagine.
Went to Reynosa on Friday, stayed at Lipstick for most of the night. Tropicana and El Baston very poor quality and atmosphere. Stardust should open in 1 or 2 months and compete with Lipstick I hope. It was always one of my favorite places before. Lipstick has lots of hot young girls but I worry to much about the peso to performance ratio. One of my regulars who I hadn't seen in awhile was at another table with a group of about 3 guys. I thought this would be a great chance to meet somebody new. I rarely call a girl over unless I've seen how she treats customers. Well this girl with a hot body (not to thin) came over to sit with me. I told her I didn't like implants but she assured me they were real, she forced me to feel them and search for a scar. She knew all the different places implants can be inserted thru and had no scars that I could see. They were firm and felt very natural. If they weren't real her dr. Kicked butt on that surgery. Her only flaw was her front teeth had a gap. Her booty was big, but not j. Lo gigantic. Well I bought her a drink and after about 15 minutes my friend comes over with a pretty mad look on her face and sits at my table. I am totally uncomfortable and tell both of them that I probably am not going to the back tonight cause I was pretty tired. I bought them both one more drink and left knowing for sure I would have taken the girl with the hot body to the back. Had my regular cab driver cross me back into the states. Will have to go back for some unfinished business. I have still not had a chance to go to Laredo but looking forward to it. Thanks for all the detailed reports on Laredo, I know they are going to help alot.
Saturday went to Whispers strip club in the states. Same ol same ol. At least the music is better. You get spoiled in Mexico.

Anything new from Matamoros
I haven't heard much from down south anyone out there?
I could use a wingman.
Mexico's new passport law takes effect next month
McALLEN, TX — Foreign travelers will have to show a passport when traveling to Mexico’s interior beginning next month.
Travelers destined for Mexico’s border cities, such as Matamoros, Reynosa or Nuevo Progreso, will not need passports to cross.
“If you are just going shopping (along the border) or just to the dentist, you don’t need it,” Miriam Medel said, spokeswoman for the Mexican Consulate in McAllen.
No need to worry the requirement does not apply to us border mongers, nevertheless, I always carry mine as US Customs staff will ask you for it when re-entering the States.
Sat/Sun Trip to Matamoros and Reynosa
Decided to go to Matamoros on Friday night, but planned to get there as early as I could after work. Called made a hotel reservation at Fontana Inn. Made a red bull/vodka to go and took off. I wanted to get there early because of the problems over there.
Well I didn't even get to the toll booth on the US side that I was already being hassled by County sheriffs or Brownsville PD crossing into Mexico. They wanted to know if the vehicle was mine, how long I had owned the vehicle, they wanted to see my id, they wanted to see proof of insurance, they asked me to step out of the car and inspected my vehicle. I don't know WTF they were looking for, I'm going into Mexico not coming back. My vehicle is 7 or 8 years old and it's not a Navigator, Escalade or BMW. My tax dollars at work. Those lazy fat ass mofos should be out patrolling the streets and expressways looking for dui's. I guess I don't really mean looking for dui's but other things. Do they do this shit at the other crossings? This is the only crossing that I get asked any of this and it's always at night and its the gateway international bridge.
Well it's only 3 turns and I'm in the hotel parking lot in less than 5 minutes. I was planning on going to Envidia only to get a cab to Circo and then return to Envidia. There was a police car parked between my hotel and Envidia which is only a 2 or 3 minute walk. So I had the hotel call me a cab and got charged 150 pesos to take me there. 30 pesos more than what I would have paid including tip.
About 15-20 girls working in the club. Couple of 8s and a 9. Mostly 6s and 7s. One of my friends and her 2 sisters were still working here. She has a nice rack but has gained weight and colored her hair blonde has braces and pierced her lip. So I downgraded her from an 8 to a 6 or 7. She sat with me for about an hour and did a good job of blocking my view of the stage. It wasn't til about 45 minutes later that I saw the girl I wanted to talk to but she was busy with another customer and I didn't want to wait.
Went outside to get a cab. Meseros do a pretty good job of getting you a good cab price. It was 100 pesos to Envidia. He had a young cute girl in the cab. I had already had 10 mini beers and my vodka (not shy anymore). So I asked if she was his daughter, not wanting to get in any trouble. They said no, just a friend. Ok I asked her if she was working and I don't remember getting a clear answer. When I finally got dropped off at Envidia I told him I was interested in her. He was to come back to the club in about an hour and see if I was busy. He suprised me and did come back. Thank god because the selection and Envidia was horrible. Now I know why I go to TKCh. He said he had the girl in the car, but I needed to go out and bring her in, no problem considering It was getting late and the girls were pretty bad.
We drank for about an hour. She told me she had just turned 18. We drank about 2 or 3 tequila shots along with Bud lights. Went back to the hotel. Life is good. (except I was so drunk I forgot to get a picture of her, damn me.
Didn't see any problems on Mexican side, but I know anything can happen at anytime. So be careful. Went to Reynosa Sat. Pm will put mini report later.
