Yesterday, we went to Los Ebanos to see the 3-man ferry. It costs 50 cents one way, to ride on the ferry. The cables are tied to Alder trees on either sides and a rope and pulley system is used to put the ferry across to Mexico. This is an ancient method, that has proved successful and continues to be manned by three Mexican men who pull the ferry across by rope . We did not drive our car across but could have for $2.50. We needed our passports because we went onto the water. Neat experience!




After the ferry ride, we had a picnic snack provided by Fred, with Elsie's assistance. It was cool but a great sunny day with friends. The Gingerich's had three couples from Alberta with them.
