So You Wanna Go To Tijuana

Now that Barack Obama has officially been inaugurated as our 44th President, I thought it would be fitting to honor the moment with a three part series on Tijuana.

You may be asking yourself how Tijuana has anything to do with the inauguration of our nation's first African American President. (Yeah, Barack Obama is black, apparently. Who knew? I wish the media would pick up on things like this and provide ample coverage. Also, what are his children's lunch menus like at school? I need to know these things.)

Well, really, one has nothing to do with the other. I just needed an opening for my Tijuana blog and its hard to write about drugs and donkey shows right after watching an important historical moment.

With that said, if you've ever wanted to visit Tijuana, you definitely want to check out this blog over the coming days. I'll be providing a detailed guide to the ins and outs of visiting America's favorite bordermistress.


My three part series will include "A Gringo's Guide to Crossing the Border," "The Sights, Sounds, and Smells of Tijuana," and "How to Leave Tijuana With Your Head Intact."

So grab your passport, put on that ridiculous sombrero you got at your favorite inauthentic Mexican restaurant, and put together a grocery list of your favorite illegal drugs; it's Tijuana time.
