As we drove north along I-95 we could see the giant Mexican sombrero tower lit up by lights in the distance at the South Carolina/North Carolina Border. It was part of South of the Border, one of the east coast’s largest roadside attractions and tourist traps. We had to stop. Shop after shop of stores, restaurants and large yard art animals and gimmicks. Inside the Mexico Shop West Gift Emporium situated in a glass case was the World’s Largest Beer Stein. Made from stoneware, it measured 4 ft high, holds 8.4 gallons and weighs 35 pounds. Staff told me I could buy it for $3,300. Rosie said “No”.
