Nuevo Laredo

[Zygomatic]

I have not seen that. There has always been people in the streets begging, but now there is no one to beg from, no one has any money. I do see people holding signs more than before, signs asking for financial help, signs asking for work, but no hot girls holding them. There are more street walkers now downtown, as they have no where else to go. Hang around the old market area, waiting to get picked up.

Where about is the old market?

Bbond,

Some people here in San Antonio are also in a serious financial hurt to the extent the pretty girls are now homeless and begging for money at the street intersections not far from where I live. There was one really hot girl that I saw yesterday that was crying while she was waiting for cars to give her money. Is the same thing or something similar happening in Nuevo Laredo?

It may happen June 1, but I doubt it. They are taking this to the extreme. No public transportation on Sunday is example of how dumb they are getting. I personally know a couple bar owners, and they are hoping it will be soon, but no official word has been announced for any opening dates. Something has to happen soon, people here are in a serious financial hurt.

You are 100% correct, this is terrible and that is probably an under statement, this will be devastating.

Drama free,

Are you staying at your usual hotel in San Pedro area? All the spas are closed now. My favorite chain which was the last remaining one open has closed. Even Tokyo, deseos and tentacion who used to suck at service but had decent girls is closed. But the restaurants are opening up. Looks like Mexico and Brazil are getting worse and worse but people have to get back to work. What's your take on the situation?

1. No issues at the Border, but they are getting much tougher everyday, so as I have said an others do not be playing around.

2. A couple of minor check points driving to MTY, but no problem at all.

3. Laredo appears to be opening up more then MTY, Sunday I drive by many of the Hotel in Laredo and they were full and open.

4. MTY not the case, many are still closed. We used Airbnb.

5. Many Rest. / Bars still closed.

The whole thing just makes no sense, but I have made a decision to live my life. Everybody as to make there own individual choices with the virus, but I do not think sitting at home and not working is the answer. As I have said in the past the financial crisis is going to be much worse then the virus. Hopefully Mexico will wake up soon and realize it is time to get back to work, but I am just not sure. Many of the girls would not go out because of the Virus, but many of those same girls have lost there jobs and probably will lose much more if this continues.

Hopefully they will get back to some normalcy June 1, we will see.

No problem this time, I am in MTY, loving life.

Anyone here any reports of when they might be reopening the bars in Nuevo Laredo? I had heard in might be June 1 but then did not hear anymore.

No, they ask usual questions, often that is, what was purpose of visit, anything to declare, where you going, how long were you in Mexico. Americans are not restricted entering the USA.

(snip), do the customs and border patrol actually ask you if you are traveling for essential purposes when you cross back into the United States?

Yes, total Bull Shit. Heading to MTY tomorrow, I have my doctors note for the border, I will leave out the MTY part.

Drama free, will the doctors note that you are referring to be from a doctor in Nuevo Laredo or from an American doctor? Does US CPS require a doctor's note to prove that you are crossing the border for essential purposes? What if I just want to buy some medicine from the farmacia? Will the medicine be enough proof to show that my border crossing is for essential purposes?

[Bbond]

I want to go to Nuevo Laredo tomorrow. Can anyone offer any hotel recommendation?

If you are not too choosy, the Fiesta downtown is open. I know a few guys that stay there when they visit. Corner of Pino Suarez and Ocampo.

Here we go again: https://youtu.be/ozSda7A__yw.

Another 30 days of border restrictions to non essential travelers at the Laredo border. I'm speechless. Let's see and hope things get much better soon.

Most are decent, but some can be real jerks. I have had little issues walking, but driving they real ness with me. I probably would have raised a little hell going into Mexico, but I knew that he did not have to let me pass. Hopefully restrictions will be continued to be relaxed and we can get back to normal life.

Drama free, given that the government is restricting travel across the border to non essential travelers, do the customs and border patrol actually ask you if you are traveling for essential purposes when you cross back into the United States?

I want to go to Nuevo Laredo tomorrow.
