Steve and I rode the bus 10 hours from Phoenix, Arizona, leaving at 10pm and arriving in Navojoa, Mexico at 8 am the next day. There we were picked up by our friend Jose ( formerly known as Joe), and made the 35 mile trip to one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, Alamos Mexico. This was an interesting adventure as we had never taken a bus into Mexico. One never knows what to expect. All went well, even at Nogales where we were boarded by Mexican border guards at 2 am. They walked up and down the isles instructing the passengers in Spanish. Steve and I were at a total loss as neither of us speak spanish. However, we understood the language of U.S. one dollar bills coming out of everyone's pockets and being handed to the guards. Steve finally asked the guard "English ?" which he replied "tips?" We too gave him our dollar bills...no passports, inspection of luggage or getting off the bus. I will pay a dollar anytime to avoid the hassles of immigration inspections!!!!
