We crossed the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass in Texas, to Piedras Negras in Coahuila, Mexico. If you are familar with the film No Country for Old Men, it is where Llewelyn Moss staggers across the bridge seeking medical attention for a gunshot wound.
We managed to secure six month visas and a six month importation sticker for the gladiator. The drive down State Highway 57 to Saltillo was beautiful (and there was not a cartel hitman in sight).
We rolled into Saltillo in the late afternoon, a quiet and tidy 500 year old city in the mountains. We met up with our coach surfing hosts Javier, Teresa and Mariana who took us out for taquitos. They wouldn't even let us pay. First night and already experiencing amazing Mexican hospitality.
