I went to Nuevo Laredo for the 4th time this year and had overall a pretty good time. I parked my car in the parking lot by International Bridge 2 (The pedestrian bridge) and walked across. Very uneventful and easy, no different from before 9/11. A taxi took me straight to boystown. I arrived at 8:30pm and it was still relatively quiet. Alot of street girls, but the popular places like Tameko, Papagayus, and Maribu were pretty empty. I walked around and finally settled on a young pretty girl in one of the bars, $20.00 + $10.00 for the room. Nothing too spectacular, BJ, doggie, and traditional. Plenty of girls approached me, one wanting as low as $5.00. Very few gringo's were there and they were desperate for business. I went to another bar, watched the dancers, drank a few beers...some girls sat down with me but did not ring my bell....not even worth buying a drink for. A really pretty one walked around, but did not accept offers from anyone. More on this later. Around 11:00pm Papagayus was getting full. Lots of girls to chose from, including some real knock-outs. One in particular caught my attention.....tall, blond, blue eyes, oh my....damn she was fine!!! Great personality. She wanted $80.00, which included $10.00 for the room, and I offered her $70.00 which she accepted. We went to the room, talked for awhile, very nice girl. She then pulled out a little aluminum foil package with cocaine and asked me if it was ok and if I wanted some. I certainly don't touch that shit, but told her I had no problems with her (Figured it would result in some wild sex). This woman was incredibly beautiful, sexy, and just great to talk to. She sucked my balls like crazy, BJ, every position, just awesome with enthusiasm. She actually got wet when we started....hugging, etc. She told me that she did not have kids or a boyfriend, nor wanted one. She just likes to party and enjoys her job (?? - But she made a believer out of me). Also she gave me her e-mail and advised me that she has a US vistor visa and frequently comes to the US when invited by her "US Amigo's that visit Papagayus". She has been to NY and Miami. This might get a little expensive, but maybe some of my friends would split the cost....especially if they knew what she looked like. Again, wow....I gave her an additional tip and told her I wanted to see her again the next day. I budgeted in more $ for other ladies but was satisfied and went back to the border. No wait or problem walking across the bridge. The US custom office simply asked if I was a US citizen (I am and definitely look Gringo)....no problem. I expected it to be bad after 9/11, but did not notice any difference.

The next day I returned to Boystown at 9:00pm, once again found a street girl. This one cost $20.00 and had a room. She provided BJ, traditional, and doggie....overall pretty good. Little petite thing...Walked back to the bar mentioned before with the dances (not sure of the name, but located at the entrance of boystown to the left). Three girls approached me, but none were anything I was interested in. Finally the one beautiful girl that previously just danced and appeared like a prop approached me, asking me if I wanted to buy her a drink. I said yes and she sat with me for awhile. I asked her how much for service and she advised me $40.00 + $10.00. I accepted.....pretty girl, long dark hair, tall, and very nice built. When we went to the room we talked a little (with my limited spanish) and leared that she came from Monterry and was recently divorced. Her ex-husband's name was still tattooed on her leg. She was affectionate, allowing hugging and kissing. Not as good as the night before (that gorgeous lady in papagayus) but memorable. I went to Papagayus, looked for the girl from the night before....but she was not there. I waited and then left.

Overall, the border crossing was easy and not much different then before (Remember, I walked across). The line for cars did not seem all that bad either. The three major bars (i.e. Papagayus) all seemed to start later than before. Things didn't really seem to start hopping until after 11:00pm. I did notice one interesting thing which were inspectors walking around from girl to girl asking for their identification/health inspection cards. They wore uniforms and seemed serious about their job, which is re-assuring. A truck driver and I shared the taxi ride to boystown, who advised me that he had made 100's of trips to boystown over 20 years (He was probably in his 50's, early 60's) and never had a problem.

For those of you that have never been to boystown before, here are a few suggestions:
- Park your car at the border. Its free & easy. Taxi's are always available and all charge $10.00 one way. No hassle or worries about driving the car in Mexio.
- Don't be shy about approaching the girl you like. The worst ones in the place will usually approach you first. Don't waste your time buying drinks, which gets expensive, just say "No gracias". Be polite and nice, but firm. If you find a girl that you like, approach her and start a conversation. It can be as simple as asking for her name.
- Remember the great equalizer in these types of social interactions - money. You might not be Don Juan, but still can be successfull getting a beautiful girl.
- Be respectful and nice. Some of the best girls in these places seem to be picky. I watched some ignore guys, wave them away, or say that they are not working. After saying "Hi" or smiling to them, they seem to losen up.
- You get what you pay for. The street girls (i.e. the girls working from the little rooms) will usually just lay there. If you need more stimulation, this is probably not for you. Always ask for what they provide. It can vary greatly. Some will only lay on their back and take of their bottom. Negotiate first....if you want doggie style, always ask first not all of them will allow it. These girls, however, are a great way to get started before hitting the more expensive places and better girls.
- Unless you have a lot of cash to spend, don't get suckered into buying a lot of drinks for the ladies, especially the ones you are not interested in. They are always more expensive then yours (upwards to $4.00). I prefer to tip the girls directly.
- The range of prices at the three major places (tameko's, papagayus, and malibu - sp??) are $60.00 - $80.00. You can usually negotiate down from $80.00, but rarely below $60.00 (especially for the better ones). Always remember that there is an additional room charge of $10.00.
- Be cautious of the tall woman on some of the side streets or in the Western club....most are TV's. If you are offered BJ, check out the other merchandise first. Look at the adam's apple and feet. I always thought that I could not get fooled (i.e. tell a TV from a real girl), well I was wrong. The only good thing is that I inspect first.....I definitely do not want a BJ from a guy! On a side note, none of the girls in the room's seem to be TV's. An offer of soley a BJ should send of alarm signals!
- I have received offers for two girls. Don't assume anything...always negotiate. I usually want to shoot my load two times, one with each girl.
- Split your money between pockets and socks. Hide an extra $10.00 for the taxi ride back. I have had money stolen before, but it was a small amount due to precautions. Avoid walking through a group of people as someone can pick-pocket you.
- Stay away from the local drunks walking around. I have seen fights break-out. Its best to avoid those scenerio's. The mexican police/security responds quickly, but why take the risk. I have seen fights on my last three trips, usually in bars frequented by locals or within a large concentration of locals. Use basic common sense!
- Expect to use condoms for everything. With very few exceptions, the girls expect them for everything, including BJ's.

Most importantly have fun......
