    It's a good idea to rub your eggs in some fresh water before using if you are not making eggs boiled in the shell. Remember to keep fresh water nearby to rinse your mouth and toothbrush. When you see trucks drive by with men in the bed of the truck wearing helmets and carrying big guns, that is a good thing. I am Canadian. When I enter the US or Mexico I am going to spend money which helps their economy. In Mexico 100 pesos equals 5 US dollars so just multiply by 5. 40 pesos is about is about $2 USD. BTW Mexicans go make donuts but they are not the same as in US and Canada, they are more bread like.

    Reminds me when our family got transferred to Mexico City in 1959. Once we got into Mexico, travelling in the desert, we would come across these shacks in the middle of nowhere where the guards would search the car. They would take whatever they wanted, like toys, but would hold up new small appliances we were bringing back, and not take them, because they didn’t know what they were. They were essentially bribe points.

    My parents have been heading down there in their RV for a couple of years now. This was a great way for me to understand why they like it so much. And to see a quick snippet of my sweet dad sitting in a chair, staring at the ocean as you guys pulled up in the neighboring site was a wonderful gift. I hope you guys are having a blast & can't wait to follow along!

    The US has pretty unique requirements for eggs. In order to be sold in stores, they must be washed. Most countries don’t even allow that because it washes off the protective coating, thus exposing the porous texture to bacteria. There are farmers from Europe with UA-cam channels that show how they process their eggs. And basically, anything too dirty doesn’t get sold. Any egg mildly dirty gets scratched off with sandpaper.
    Eggs can last longer if they haven’t been washed, too. I have chickens and have eaten six month old unwashed eggs. If you keep them in the fridge, it’s mostly fine… sometimes you get a bad one and that smell haunts you for days. Which is why cooking shows tell you to always crack your eggs in a separate bowl and not directly over what you’re trying to make.
    The flock I have this year are particularly dirty girls. I actually washed my eggs while watching this video. Hens lay with the sun. So as the days get longer, they’ll lay more. The eggs I washed will get eaten before they go bad because I don’t have to ration them in springtime.
    Anyway, hope that explains why your eggs had feathers. 😂

    Yeah, no matter how 1000% innocent I was, I always stressed over crossing the border, the Federales stops and all of the rest - and I have sailed down 3 times, up once & I literally have no idea how many vehicle crossings. It's just intimidating. I would think kids would help. And well-trained and cute puppies.

    We are looking at buying a travel trailer in the next month or so. We keep reading that MOST campgrounds have limits on the length of RV/Trailers/etc between 27-35 ft from bumper to hitch... however, most of the newer model travel trailers we are looking at are longer than 35 feet. Has this been a problem for anyone? Or can you tell me how we should navigate this? The trailer we want has a separate bunk room and it's roughly 36 feet and 4 inches

    Marissa, I not enough of a neatness person to worry about the state of my home if someone breaks in, but then I don't worry about anyone ever breaking in, either. My thing about my home is I can dirty it up thru-out the day, but it's gotta be clean (especially the kitchen) before I go to bed at night, so every morning I can wake up to a relatively neat/clean home. However, I am a single person living alone and don't make much mess thru the day, so only takes 10-15 minutes to clean the place up before I change into jammies and settle into bed.

    I don't know Marissa, you look pretty sketchy with that torn up Levi jacket on. I think that the eggs in Mexico may be unwashed and that's why there was a feather on it. The upside is the eggs will last longer, the down side is you should definitely wash them before you use them. It sounds like you guys are having a blast. Keep the good stuff coming and give the kids a hug for me.
