A day trip to Tijuana

Day trip across the border to Mexico
Well as the border is so close between the US of A and Mexico I decided to take a day trip to the worlds most crossed border Tijuana, plus I wanted to check it out to see what all the fuss was about, and do a recce as I was getting a flight out of there ...
There and back again
... a way south. And they were very lovely hospitable people. The last two days have involved a long painful bus ride along the Mexico-US border to Tijuana. At last we see the Mexico of the movies - it’s a bit seedy, a bit edgy. Our bus yesterday ...
Tijuana Baby
... border. I did some shopping and bargained for bags and silver and then had a mexican lunch of fajitas and motijo cocktails! Tijuana is Mexico, but it is not "real" mexico. Tijuana caters to the tourist arriving from the States and it also seems, boys ...
and wrap...
Well that's it for the official AOC part of the journey. We rode the final stretch into Tijuana this morning, had a drink, some lunch, relaxed a bit, and back to camp to see some of the first to leave off. Eight of us bought tickets for Hermosillo to go ...

Real tacos in Mexico....
The tacos were good and the meds were even better. The only bad thing was the cab accident with mom in the front seat. But I suppose the cab driver thought his brakes worked without apply/pumping ...
Tijuana, Mexico
... - a bit disappointing, but understandably not a major deal considering what is going on around us. We decided to move our trip to Tijuana forward, and took the truck down to a parking area on the U.S side. Absolutely no worries getting into Mexico - we ...
Viva Mexico!!
... can count Mexico to one of my places visited. (I'm pretty sure many Mexican people and others would object to that statement since Tijuana hardly represents Mexico, but hey!! It's in Mexico so it's a part of Mexico!!) I flew in to Los Angeles yesterday, ...
Trouble in Tijuana
You can't be that close to Tijuana and not go. We bought a lot of things that aren't quite legal in the U.S. (not drugs) And we got to drink tequila and corona with Smither's ...
Final Good-byes

South of the Border
One of the day trips that we took from Newport Beach was a trip into Tijuana, Mexico. I knew I didn't want to go far across the border, just enough to say I had been to Mexico and to finally get some use out of my passport. We parked our car on the US ...
Tijuana
... . Do we look that stupid!! Queues for crossing the border, mental. Got stamped into USA before getting stamped out of Mexico, confusing. Welly got extension to the Mexican visa for 180days (basically the guy just scrubbed out the 90day and wrote ...
Para Recquerdo

Tijuana, Mexicali Border

Tijuana - Margharita's, Mexican Food n Black Jack
Over breakfast I heard some girls saying they were going on the trolley to Tijuana, which is just over the Mexico border and is renowned for the American under 21's to go for a good drinking session. I cordially invited myself as it was my one month ...
The 2nd most dangerous place in Mexico

Tequila!
