MATAMOROS

Before leaving Florida we were told that Matamoros means “fat cow”.  When we arrived in Brownsville, Texas just across the Rio Grande River from Matamoros Dana heard all sorts of horror stories from people trying to scare him into not going.  Stories such as … we would be killed or have our fingers chopped off, etc.

We would have none of it … we were going to go and we went.  All Dana’s life he’s heard people in the USA say don’t go to Mexico, it’s dangerous.  Why?  Yes, why?  Dangerous????

We found the city of Matamoros to be far bigger and much nicer than Brownsville, Texas …  Matamoros is vibrant and colorful.  Too bad we did not go earlier than we did!
