Day 38: Muchos saludos de México! 🌵
Today I left the USA and jumped over the border to Tijuana.
Better to say: I jumped into a new world. Yesterday I wrote about pure richness. Today - just a few miles more southern - I gonna write about pure poverty.
The main street where I arrived "Av Revolución"was was very touristic and every two metres someone was speaking to me to sell me something.
So I wanted to go off that street very quickly.
I went into backstreet and there it was the Mexican lifestyle. All along the street musicans with their Mexican hat on played salsa music and people danced on the street.
Yes, this definitely was a good place to rest. So I chose a restaurant and had a Mexican lunch. It was delicious!
Afterwards I took a taxi to the beach. That easy? Not in Mexico! I walked about hundred blocks to find a taxi that brought me there. Not every taxi brings you everywhere. But the price was so cheap! I paid 1 dollar for a 20 minutes ride.
At the beach I enjoyed the seaside and was able to stand next to the border with nice drawings on it. You was able to see helicopters of the US military for border protection at all time.
At the end of the day I drank a coconut drink 🌴

Before I got here I read in the internet "in Tijuana everybody speaks English". Never! The border officiers and the hostel stuff was able to but the rest? Mostly when they spoke spanish to me I was able to understand them 💪 But I wasn't able to reply 🙈 So I got hands and it worked 🙌
