It is necessary to drive about 50 kms to reach the immigration office. It was not too busy with two wickets open and only 3 people ahead of us. We’ll see how long it takes!Last year when we crossed here there were some surly middle-aged guys doing the work This year there are very pleasant young guys. They processed us very quickly then I went out to the bike while Bill proceeded to the counter where they would process the paperwork to import the bike.There is a fairly long line of vehicles passing through a checkpoint so I guess when he is done with the paperwork we will be joining that line.I see that people hand the guard some paperwork and he does something with it inside the guardhouse then hands it back. Sometimes the guard searches a vehicle, but not often.The sky has cleared and the sun has come out. Now I’m wearing too many clothes. Need to lose a few layers. As I stand here I’ve been approached by a woman who asked me about our trip in English. She was very nice and hoped we would be careful because there was a lot of traffic. Then a old vendadora asked me in Spanish if I was on vacation. I answered her in broken Spanish and we carried on a short conversation that way. I think she understood me.Done by 12:45
