Hotel Emporio Tijuana

... it's made up -- they had a couple of Italian restaurants along one street and so deemed it Little Italy. Probably very cynical of me. The W Hotel is happening tonight ... some big wine tasting event. Lots of sleek young bodies in high heels and/or tight pants. Both men and women. Very amusing. I definitely felt out of place ... <br>

At work all day, then late afternoon flight. No problems with flight at all ... arrived, got rental car, then drove the few miles to the W Hotel. Very swank. The "living room" bar was happening ... but we just went to our rooms, then met for dinner at Rice, the embedded restaurant, which serves Cuban/Asian fusion. Food was fine, not fab.<br><br>Room is fun ... there's a chalkboard (that received a bit of J. Alfred Prufrock from me) and a window seat. And the linens are wonderful.<br><br><br>

... had made it to the border and were ready to cross over into bandit country, venturing into the lawless town of Tijuana. But first we had to cross the world's busiest land border crossing...<br><br>As you can imagine, it is an exercise in mass crowd control and is basically a large pedestrian overpass that you walk up while being monitored on CCTV. Once you've crossed over the road with the long lines of vehicles slowly edging along, you walk down the ...

... bills and i we would have to break a 50 to get a dollar this Philippine guy leaned over from the next table of where he sat with his Mexican wife and offered me a dollar to use. It was a kind gesture and we sat there talking to him for awhile. Telling us that he had been signed into the US navy through a relocation scheme that they had with the states in the 60´s that gave him the opportunity travel the world. So he listening with great delight about our world trip and also informed ...

... a constant ching ching ching, that's the roller that block you from returning. The Mexican checkpoint as always, they just waive you through. As I got to the area of cabs and buses, you get approached by 15 cab drivers all willing to take you to your destination. Well my destination is Hospital Angeles, where my personal doctor works from. (Yes may I remind you I don't have health insurance, so I frequent the healthcare in Mexico, which is not as bad as many think ...

... genes. Simon was even sure that he could see regrowth on the stripes! We asked the guy and a couple of shop owners whether it was really crossed with a zebra - I mean we've never heard of zebra's in Mexico!!! But they were all smiling but still serious that it was a donkey zebra! And adamant to their claim of authenticity! Finally we found another shop owner, one that wasn't so annoying LOL, and he admitted that once upon a time they had had a zebra crossed with a donkey, but ...

... celebrate the beginning of a new semester as any starving college student would by getting an 80 minute deep tissue massage, followed by a work out in the gym. Then I am planning on going back to the harbor to look around some more and visit some of the sites there that I missed today, such as the Star of India, and a navel submarine. Then I thought about visiting Balboa Park, which has several art galleries, the zoo (which I think I may skip), and some quaint ...

... feb budem mat jazdiace auto za $500". Nech si len to podvedomie na tom popracuje ako ho dostat. Tak dnes rano som vsetkych v kancelarii spytal, ci poznaju niekoho kto sa chce zbavit jazdiaceho auta za $500, ale nikto nevedel. Tak som zasiel do auto servisu na vedlajsej ulici s spytal sa ich. Povedali mi, ze spolupracuju s miestnou vladou a predavaju skonfiskovane auta. Povedali mi: "Rozhodne nechcem vediet aka je minulost tych aut ...

10:15 - Woke up, checked out, and heading south of the border to Tijuana, Mexico for some cheap liquor. Keith got Del Taco again. Last night, me and Keith got the Macho Burrito which was ****in' huge! It was like 2 ½ burritos in one. Can't believe we finished it. I'm taking a break from Del Taco, for a day or so. Today is overcast, 69 degrees day. 10:38 - Missed last U.S. Parking exit. Taking ...
