Recently we had the opportunity to travel on business to Piedras Negras which stands at the northeast edge of Coahuila on the U.S - Mexican Boarder across the Rio Grande River from Eagle Pass in the State of Texas.
The city has some interesting and unusual architecture such as the bee on the top of the world which signifies what busy bees do.
There some magnificent churches in Piedas Negras and this is located just after crossing the border.
It is truly beautiful inside.
The markets are full of brightly coloured wares.
With amazing pot plant holders.
The restaurants have wonderful paintings of a bygone era.
As can be seen from this photo it creates a great atmosphere to enjoy good food and fun times.
Throughout the restaurant there are interesting artifacts to be enjoyed.
The food was delicious.
As mentioned it was a business trip and here Albert and Annette and catching their breath before meeting with colleagues.
We were meeting with doctors at a medical clinic in Piedras Negras and the doctor in this photo is an Australian doctor from Melbourne who lives in Belgium and works around the world. It really is a small world in may ways.
It was a successful trip and an opportunity to have a glimpse into the delivery of primary health care in this part of Mexico.
Best wishes,
Beverley and Ross
