Dad's Notes:  Arizona’s Mexican Border town. Full of neat, colorful Mexican crafts and wares - too much to even try to list. A great time and experience for the whole family!
     Some tips on crossing the border - take small bills, bring bottled water (or buy it there), plenty of bargains - the typical practise of haggling to get a cheaper price or better deals is still alive in well in most of the shops there - check prices in a few places before purchasing - this will give you an idea of what things are going for. Stay in the shopping areas.
     The food is great, of course - don’t drink the water, and unless you are staying for the night life I wouldn’t recommend the evenings there for a family environment. Park on the American side and walk over all the shopping is well within an easy walk. Also bring a picture ID to get back across the border.
