Throwback to a chilly impromptu morning in Tijuana! I woke up on a normal Friday in LA with nothing to do, so I hit up my friend with a text “hey man, wanna go to Tijuana?”.
A few hours later and there we were! Tijuana is a unique place. It’s RIGHT NEXT to America, but couldn’t be a more different place. A mere 2 hours from home and you’re in a completely different culture.
Some people don’t give Tijuana a second thought, thinking it’s dangerous, but we couldn’t have had a more pleasant experience. From locals sharing cervezas on the beach to taco stands showing us why Tijuana has some of the best tacos in the world.
I think the best example of how great the Mexican people are is how they treat the very present border wall. The American side looks like a war zone. Rows upon rows of bar wire fences and patrol roads. On the Mexican side, the wall is painted with bright, friendly colors and families enjoy their beach right next to the wall. A boarder doesn’t have to be hostile.
