Tijuana

These pics' are long overdue - but I don't think they're getting much attention on my flickr acount. These are from our visit to Tijuana, or "TJs", as everyone here seems to call it. Enjoy.


I thought the massive chandlers in this alleyway turned shopping-center were really cool - but this picture doesn't do them justice.


I could have stayed here all day - after walking down the alleyway (pictured above) I found this... the bright-orange fountain sat in the center of four buildings they “butted” up against each other - forming an open square.

Even though it was only 100 feet or so from the very busy, very loud city streets - it was completely quiet and peaceful here.










Thousands upon thousands of little ceramic bulldogs, velvet Jesus statues, stuffed tigers, and a long list of other completely useless and gaudy items for sale - line the stretch of highway that leads back towards the boarder.

All this is so close I could literally put my arm out the window of the car and probably tip something over... I just kept thinking about how much fun it would be to watch a speeding car spin out of control and crash into all this... crap... or whatever you might call it.

Or you know what - scratch the car idea, instead I would pay good money to watch a person riding a bicycle wipe out in this mess. Ahh, that's comedy.

Tijuana looks a lot nicer than I pictured it. Looks like fun.

Well - if you think it sounds like fun, don't let me forget to tell a story... involving: being drugged, transvestite-prostitutes, the Mexican police, and much, much more...
