oh boy do we got a log for you today I'm about to go on a two-day adventure with
a Mexican tow truck driver I've never met before we don't sleep in the same
bed buddy we're thinking she might have a parasite so she's gonna stay back
she's gonna drive bus to Mexico City then fly to Mimi that's what I call an
apple in a bag I got my men's Anna about four days now ago I'm Mel Harris four
days ago now was it crunchy well I haven't tried it yet but that's
how long I've been saving it because apples are good for you when you have a
parasite in your belly Morrison was kind enough to bring us this morning
she's the pest which is where Trinity has been since she broke down I'm so
excited to see her this morning we're gonna load her up
Ament towing her back so my clothing is gonna go back in there and then what
we're planning on doing is once she's ready to go back in Austin we're gonna
do like a really fresh start with her get our laundry done clean the sheets
give her a deep clean and just start fresh get it girl get it girl get it
girl yes team we should have done this through the border crossing I have not
had my nail clippers for a week
gonna do a quick little clipping before even leaves
okay nice oh the tow trucks arrived as you can see behind us it's really
interesting like I guess people just come and go here but we found a great
great new friend here this morning who speaks both Spanish English really well
so he's helping us communicate with this tow truck driver because he does not
speak any English I just wanted to communicate our plan the fact that we're
taking this tow truck to the border only because they won't cross the border and
that we would like to sleep somewhere or aim and would like to sleep somewhere
tonight just where he feels safe like in Monterrey under the rest of the trip to
the border in the morning say you go straight from now until the border how
many hours is that because what time 12 hours there's a little bit of
miscommunication where I thought that we would be supporting our driver I thought
we would be staying in Monterrey for the night and then making it tomorrow to the
border but if we want to do that I could pay him 400 pesos per hour so I'm
thinking we are just gonna book it to Loretto this is probably gonna be the
worst drive of my life and then I'm going to truck try and call
the other companies see if they'll pick me up at night I'm not sure if they will
if the borders even open all that kind of stuff otherwise I might get him to
drop me at a decent hotel in Nuevo Laredo and then try and figure out the
logistics later all right you're coming with me let's go we make videos for
YouTube so I'm gonna be filming myself the entire time all right bye gringos
we're gonna start with some food no idea what I'm gonna be working with for lunch
it's in let Jason play voles incarnate exactly
couple tortillas vegetable soup Eduardo's got quite a tort technique
with the tortillas he grabs one and then he rolls it like that and then he uses
it for the soup to course meal that had the mango juice in a vegetable soup
tortillas like a salad with beans a bow rice husband $3.50 and it was really
good well those salsa picante spicy that bro
okay sounds good
okay got off the phone with Trey and it looks like we're only 4 hours away guys
so making great time he is all set she's gonna leave Austin now he's like 4
hours away from the border and then Eduardo's gonna drop me at the border
hopefully it's just an easy kind of pickup like if he just comes right in
grabs me and then brings me out but let's see
that's what I'm a reliable Texas mate tre was supposed to pick me up and meet
me I just got off the phone with him like three hours ago two hours ago he
said he was all ready to go they texted me saying that he strapped another job
and that he wants me to find another company to bring me across the border
starting to feel a little bit sketched out because apparently the border closes
at 12:00 and this guy Troy is now meeting me at the border but he's not
get not gonna get there until 12:10 so he's texted me being like dude if you
get dropped at the border just try and ask someone if you pay him a hundred
bucks to tow your van across the border it's like dude who's gonna accept the
hundred dollars to pull a stranger's van into America that's just not gonna fly I
don't know what I'm gonna do if the people are gonna close all I know is I'm
gonna hold on to Eduardo I'm not gonna let this man leave until I've met up
with someone else because if Eduardo just dumps my truck and leaves me there
I'm like a sitting duck on the edge of the Mexican border
this is turning out to be a horrible situation new plan for you guys I just
spoke with Trey who is now saying he will come get me and I tried to explain
to all of that there won't be another operator that will bring me across
tonight he says okay we'll figure it out so we are going to the border just have
a very difficult conversation here with Eduardo trying to understand that he can
no longer take me right to the border is his company will only allow him to go to
Nuevo Loretto the town which I don't understand because we had an agreement
that it was going to go to the border so I don't know what we're gonna do guys I
know it's brutal you can't even see me right now but
I really wish I could be filming these Google translates conversations that I'm
having with my homeboy hair because it's a joke and we don't understand each
other at all having a little battle earlier Eduardo wouldn't take me to the
border but he's been a good man and he's taking me basically to the border
that's the van that's America guys it's been a bit of a roller coaster tonight
at some at one point I was actually so freaked out because we're like cruising
along this truck stop or a bunch of prostitutes like waving us down and
stuff like that I was like oh my god what have we gotten ourselves into but
now I'm feeling a lot more secure trey is supposed to be on his way now he was
pretty confident he could not get in the border so he did not bring his tow truck
through to Mexico he's like met his uncle to get his car
and they're planning on towing me with a chain across the bridge big truck little
truck who's going to win this loco man
is mine they couldn't fix it in Mexico so I've had to tow it all the way up
Mexico and now I'm gonna fix the engine and then finally return thank you cheers

good freedom fries where they at we got a few speed bumps which is not making
