Tobey spotted one dolphin, but it was out quite a ways, so we didn’t linger since today was a long travel day. We were up and ready to hit the road by 7:30. There was definitely a front moving through and we battled winds most of the day, making it seem longer.
Sonora, Mexico also has lots of agriculture and there were lots of workers in the fields early as we made our way north.
We stopped at a small roadside restaurant in Hermosillo, Mexico to have our last fish tacos for lunch.They were delicious – just what we needed before the final long push to the border.
It only took about 15 minutes to clear Mexican customs, turning in our vehicle permits and tourist permits. About 15 miles up the road and thirty minutes later we got into the “fast” lane for US Customs. 
We were able to pass miles of trucks before we had to merge into the line of cars to our right and then move to the far right lane! Tobey is a pro at Mexican merging traffic now, so that was actually not bad.
We got into the Buses and RV lane about 5 pm. There must have been a bus at the front of the line because it took 2 hours before we made it to the US customs and immigration check point and it looked like there were only 8 RVs in front of us! Once we got to the front of the line and answered a few questions, had the passports checked, and refrigerator contents inspected, we were free to go. Our actual time was about 10 minutes!
A stop in Nogales, Arizona for gas and we were heading to Tucson where we arrived about 8:45 pm. We spent the night at our friend, Roger’s, house and had a LATE dinner. We called it an early night after our 482 mile drive today.
