Excerpt from Bits of Old Mexico

In a moment of absent-mindedness, I said. "Yes, I'll go, " and the result of that "yes" was a trip to Mexico.

We had been discussing the rubber question and its possibilities. I had agreed to take an interest in a plantation but said Missourian-like, "Show me, " and the agreement to visit Mexico and this particular plantation was an assured fact before we left the lunch table.

It took us about a week to get ready and on the 24th of February started for the land of manana and the home of quein sabe.

The run to El Paso had its moments of interest, but as this is a trip to Mexico, I will forget everything else for the present.

Eleven a. m. Sunday, February 28th, found us on the bridge connecting El Paso and Juarez, or the United States and Mexico, and incidentally in the hands of the custom officers.
