I just got back from a neuroscience conference in San Diego. I don't have much to say about the conference because I really went to shop and sightsee. I apologise for the lousy weather... and the pics don't convey how yummy the guacamole is in Tijuana, but here they are anyway...
Our lovely hotel...
We got around mostly by trolley which was very convenient and reasonably priced. Here are some pics from the trolley trip heading downtown.
I insisted on spending some time in Tijuana as I am a lover of urban grit and TJ (as Californians like to call it) has plenty of it.
Here's the trolley at the border:
It felt like Mexico even before we crossed the border.
As you walk across the unmanned border to Mexico, you get a nice aerial of Tijuana.
Welcome to Tijuana. Plenty of pharmacies selling Prozac, Wellbutrin, Ampicillin, and lots of other goodies. Most of the following pics are from Revolution Ave, Tijuana's main downtown street.
My souvenir from Mexico: a nice Talavera mirror to go with my Moroccan lantern.
Hope you enjoyed!
