Shopping in Nuevo Progreso.
Wanda Mortensen informs the Signal that bus seats are selling quickly for the upcoming trip to the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle National Shrine. After visiting the shrine, the group will go shopping in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico. This is the second such trip organized by Immaculate Conception Parish, and the money raised will benefit the children’s religious education fund. The date for this year’s trip is Saturday, April 16, and the cost per ticket is $30. The trip is open for one and all and with last year’s excursion being such a success, it is expected that the tickets will sell out. There is limited availability, so if anyone reading this is interested, please contact Wanda Mortensen (287-3573) or Lydia Longoria at the parish office (287-3256). The parish office is open Mondays, and Wednesdays through Fridays from 9am until 3pm.
The bus is a very comfortable luxury coach, complete with a movie to be shown during the drive. Wanda Mortensen made quite a few trips to Nuevo Progresso in recent weeks, accompanying a friend for dentist visits and shopping while she was occupied. They found it to be clean, safe, and totally hassle-free. They had no problems whatsoever, even driving in and parking in front of the dentist’s office. There were no overly pushy salespersons and no panhandlers, and it was a very enjoyable experience. In fact, there were many American tourists shopping there as well – mostly retirees enjoying their leisure.
If anyone reading this would like to make a trip there, don’t hesitate to buy your bus ticket now. With a group setting, and being there in the morning and early to mid afternoon, it will be safe and fun. You can see from the pictures that it is a very colorful, interesting place.
