On Saturday I went to Tijuana, first time since I was tiny. It wasn't a planned trip, we actually went to the Hotel del Coronado, then somehow ended up at the border parking lot, waiting for a bus into the city. It's a lot closer than I thought, you can see the arch and the Mexican flag from the parking lot. We didn't have a tour book so we just walked up and down the main streets. We ventured into their local mall, which I've gotta tell you, isn't worth your time. You don't shop for clothes in Mexico. What you can get, on the side streets, are entire pieces of animals. Cow heads, pork heads, entire cow legs, nothing like anything you'd see in the states.
Below is a shot from a bridge over a "river." We were intrigued by this man washing his hands in the disgusting river. Of course you can click on the pix to enlarge. I've resized them from their original 6mega pixel size.
Next we have the US-Mexico Border. It's behind the McDonalds, the thing that looks like the great wall of china. It's quite formidable.
Headed for Mission Beach on Sunday. Noticed this apartment, facing the beach. Lynched pigeon. Why??
Southern California has its beaches done right. Mission Beach has firepits, allows alcohol, has lifeguards with all sorts of vehicles, and there's fancy vacation rentals with people blasting loud music and drinking cheap beer.
