Mexican -USA border

Ridiculous border on the beach!

Broken glass protection

The wall, which many people can not and will never cross...


And here is neverending and everlasting line of cars waiting to cross to USA side...


People are walking between cars and selling their clothes, food, toys, sweets, flowers, ice-creams,  all and more what you can wish...

Mexican goodies

De la Rosa is a kind of mexican marzipan




Caramelized apples

Different kinds of cheese


Nuts, usually peanuts in spicy shells
It is impossible for me to buy for example natural yogurt without sugar. Even when you see the sign "sin azucar" it is always sweet. You also need to pay attention to the butter - most of them are with salt  ("con sal").

Avenida Revolucion (Christmas time)

Avenida Revolucion - the most tourist place in Tijuana. An arch is a symbol of this place and my strategic point where should I guide myself in the case of getting lost ;).
Christmas are coming very soon so under the arch is a Christmas tree...




Only in Mexico you can take a picture under the Christmas Tree with Santa Close and... donkey colored as a zebra...

Tijuana river (Rio Tijuana)

Today again I crossed a pedestrian bridge, which is above the Tijuana river. I found it hard to call it a river, because it looks more like a stream. Unfortunately, dirty, contaminated and full of pollution stream. It looks like brown stream of sewage...
      Although it was raining for few days in Tj and now river is full of water and it touching the edges.
The most sad view what you can see from here are homeless people down below. They are living in "tents" made of trashes. Even when the water level was rising dangerously - they did not move...

Tj arco

When you approach to the arch you hear birds singing, like birds council... but it is not that. What you hear is a wind playing on the wires, like on the strings of the huge guitar...

Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico

On the way to Ensenada we took a high way. It's a beautiful road - on the on side you admire an ocean on the other hills and houses built on them...






In Ensenada...


Whale-man sculpture


Fish market!

Here you can buy fresh and delicious seafood for a good price


Coming back to Tj we took a way through Tecate. We passed wine plantation and cheese farm. I hope next time we will pop in over there.
