Tijuana

I was in Tijuana about 12 years ago when I crossed the border......ahem....I mean, when I was coming back from my luxurious vacation. I was just passing; I did not stay for more than a couple of hours. And we really did not leave the coyote's...ahem...sorry got something in my throat, we did not leave our good host's house very much. But from what I remember it did not look very nice. Then again, I was about 12 years old and terrified out of my mind so perhaps I was not really paying attention, of even focusing on the pretty parts since my mind was not in a pretty state. Though, recently I saw a Rick Bayless episode (love that man) that painted Tijuana in a very good light. I will now try to go back and experience what Tijuana really is, whether it be good or bad.
