Yuma

   Five and a half hours of driving almost straight west brought us to Yuma,  AZ.  It's located in the SW corner of the state and is home to the Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma and the Yuma Proving Ground operated by the US Army.  Both provide income to the agricultural Yuma economy.  The other income comes during winter in rvs and vehicles from the northern areas of North America.  RV parks are everywhere.
   Randa and I have come here for another reason.  Algodonas, Mexico is nearby, just across the border.  Over 200 dentist offices.  Over 50 Optical Offices.   Many restaurants and shops selling items folks buy to decorate their abodes, mobile and stationary.
   We are here to save some money.  Dental costs and medicine costs are a fraction of the costs that we pay here in the US.  Wednesday was our first dental visit.  We have been using this dentist for 5-6 years and like her a lot.  Her work is exceptional.  So tomorrow we go back to get one crown for me and two for Randa.
