MEXICO

FINALLY got power back after about 84 hours! The fridge was messy to clean out but it was wonderful to take a warm shower. Now, as promised, my San Diego/Mexico blog!

My roommates, our friend Jamie and I all went to the Dodgers/Padres game, which the Dodgers won in a 5-0 shut out. After the game we drove to the border.

We parked in a lot specifically for people who wanted to walk across the border, and that's what we did. As we were about to cross over we saw a teenager who had thrown a rock at some man's car get tackled to the ground, which was pretty scary.

Once that excitement was over we walked into Mexico. We shopped and looked around right across the boarder and then we went a little way into town. We sampled some food and I bartered for a few souvenirs. Right now 11.5 Pesos = 1 American dollar. There were a few stray dogs and we saw a donkey painted to look like a zebra.

The thing that amazed me the most was how children who looked to be about 7 years old were both skilled street performers and excellent sales people! I had a lot of fun in the few hours we were there. As we were leaving the boarder guard asked me where I was born and before I knew it we were back in California.
