A Day Across the Border

To get in the mood for our upcoming trip to Mexico, we went with friends and family across the border south of Douglas, AZ, to Agua Prieta. We have a favorite seafood restaurant there, La Palapa - and it gave us a chance to change some dollars to pesos in a Mexican bank.

Our question? Why can you get delicious, fresh fish and shrimp a 15 minute walk across the Mexico border for a very reasonable price... and NO similarly reasonably priced, fresh seafood in Bisbee, Naco or any of the other border towns on the Arizona side of the border??
