Front Gate-3573
The houses in Monterrey, Mexico are built with either an enclosed front porch area or an enclosed area to park one car. They have some type of iron gate facing the street which encloses and protects the property. I liked the decorative style of this one.
Last year at this time I had just arrived in Monterrey for the Christmas holidays. I stayed there for 2 1/2 months with my son and his family.
Monterrey is a large city of over 3 million people. Like cities everywhere, it is comprised of a number of adjacent satellite cities. Many of the food chains popular in the US are also in Monterrey. At various times we ate at Chili's, Applebee's, McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, and several other chain restaurants. About the only purchased Mexican food we had came from a local taco shop in the neighborhood. We did our grocery shopping at Walmart. In some ways I had never left Texas ;-) Well, you might say the language of Spanish, but come to think of it - that's here too. The only difference is that our principal language is English, and their principal language is Spanish, but you find plenty of both languages in both countries.
Oh my goodness, I forgot about Starbucks ;-) We used the drive-through lane several times. And there's an upscale sandwich shop, that I can't remember the name of right now. They delivered dinner to our house several times.
