Wow! I have never seen so many strip clubs, pawn shops, tattoo and piercing parlors, title loan shops, etc., in one place in my life. It is so sad to see how the secular world "caters" to these young, naive soldiers who are earning a nice income and don't know what to do with their newfound "wealth." It is so disappointing to see.
There are a lot of U-turns to make around here, and we couldn't figure out how to get back on the main road we wanted and we ended up taking a back road that was SCARY! I have never seen so many strip clubs. We know to never go down that road again, especially at night.
It is also very flat here and very brown. We do have some squatty "trees" in our yard, and I can't wait to see if the leaves will fall off or not. I don't know what kind of trees they are. I will hopefully post some pics soon.
We had our first taste of authentic Mexican food the other day. Now, I have always been one who knows Mexican food. Afterall, I waited tables at a Mexican restaurant when I was in college. Michael and Victoria always ask me what things are because I know my Mexican food.
When I looked at the menu at the restaurant last week, I didn't know what things were. I had never heard of some of the items. I actually had to ask the waitress questions!! 
Victoria asked me how I knew that this was authentic. I told her because I didn't know what everything was on the menu. 
I ordered the chicken fajita nachos. Victoria ordered two beef fajita soft tacos, and Michael ordered something I can't remember. My nachos were so different. We are used to melted cheese poured over the nachos. It was definitely shredded cheese melted over chips the size of half a flour tortilla. They were HUGE! Victoria's tacos looked fabulous. Beef with lettuce, tomato and cheese. She could only eat one. Michael's meal was interesting. It was two corn "tortillas." But the tortilla's were about 3/4 inch thick! Between the tortillas was ground beef, cheese and a type of pica de gallo. It was interesting. I think next time we will try the fajita beef, not the ground beef. We will definitely go back.
Well, I have to get back to my unpacking. I think we will be unpacking for the rest of the week.
Until next time, have a blessed week!
