12:56 pm the border guard took my passport, scanned it, I walked past a drug dog, then there was a big line to run your bag through a scanner, a guard pointed at me and said "you can go"</div>

I went! And here I am at San Ysidro California, just outside the border crossing.</div>
<div>
Merika!! Oddly, everyone was still speaking Spanish. :)</div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1:04 pm. It felt like 4 hours, but it took 2 hours to cross the border on foot.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I needed to go get medical prescriptions that I ordered the day before at a Walmart a few miles from here, I grabbed a cab, $15. I got there at 1:20 pm, of course they closed from 1:15-2:15 pm for lunch, my luck!</div>
<div>
I got my prescriptions at 2:25, went to leave Walmart to catch a bus to the Blue Line terminal at Palm Street, but, it was pouring rain, rain wasn't in the planning.</div>
<div>
I bought a umbrella, and promptly got soaked walking to the bus stop, I was on one side of the street just in time to see the bus I needed leave on the other side of the street.</div>
<div>

I stood here at the bus stop with no cover, getting rained on my little umbrella for 30 minutes until the next bus came.</div>

A little less today (Saturday)<div><br></div><div>Getting ready for going to San Diego Sunday I checked the fluids on my truck, oil, half a quart low.. Look under and see I've got a leak. I jack it up, get under there and see that one of my oil cooler lines is leaking again. I start the truck and poke around under there and can see that the the line is easy to move (loose), I push it one way to see how loose and it showers me we oil and dumps a few quarts on the ground before I get it turned off. Clearly the o-ring seal is broken, again.</div><div>I'm very sick of this problem, this is the third time this system has leaked.</div><div>I spent hours researching this problem, after I did a massive cleanup of me and the ground. I'm going to take care of it myself instead of paying some mechanic to half ass it.</div><div>My research helped me throughly understand how this stupid thing works and why it's a common fail in 90s and newer era GM engines.

Bus and taxi fees were most of the cost.</div><div> <br><div>I have a lot of mixed emotions about Tijuana, but overall it felt like a much bigger, dirtier version of Ensenada. There were gigantic "suburb" like housing areas, and interspersed everywhere was horrible poverty, squalor, trash, and people who are clearly just surviving.</div><div>As the bus drove through the city there were more affluent areas, but the percentage of nice to run down shacks was low.</div><div>I went to Zona Norte, the red light district of Tijuana. I was there just to check the place out on this trip, I may go back for an overnight visit. Zona Norte seems like every other part of Mexico I've seen so far, doing everything humanly possible to remove dollars from tourist wallets, oh yeah, and hookers.</div><div>I didn't take any pictures of the hookers, but someone else filmed the same streets I was walking, this is exactly what I saw yesterday afternoon.</div><div><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mpfO_QSB5BA">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mpfO_QSB5BA</a></div><div><br></div><div>I expected Tijuana to be different, but to me, it's the same thing I see all over this area, just WAY more city.</div><div>Just my opinion of yesterdays very limited bus trip, and being someone who has never left the U.S. before. </div><div>To be honest, Tijuana made me deeply sad.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-i7vCVzbyEUQ/VaF563KqO2I/AAAAAAAAFR8/d9jaPcLbk6A/s640/blogger-image-764304328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-i7vCVzbyEUQ/VaF563KqO2I/AAAAAAAAFR8/d9jaPcLbk6A/s640/blogger-image-764304328.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Ensenada Bus Terminal </div><div>Bus stations, they suck everywhere </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-h71IlH6vqQ8/VaF5Xh5l09I/AAAAAAAAFQ8/m5jl05CQ9Mw/s640/blogger-image-207665429.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-h71IlH6vqQ8/VaF5Xh5l09I/AAAAAAAAFQ8/m5jl05CQ9Mw/s640/blogger-image-207665429.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>The areas around Zona Norte</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1CldVP8s2A8/VaF5ci9Y4TI/AAAAAAAAFRU/eb4jGkvaDHk/s640/blogger-image--54928534.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1CldVP8s2A8/VaF5ci9Y4TI/AAAAAAAAFRU/eb4jGkvaDHk/s640/blogger-image--54928534.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_8KePpSmTPs/VaF5d-AktXI/AAAAAAAAFRc/aZIsUO43YX4/s640/blogger-image--1397561583.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_8KePpSmTPs/VaF5d-AktXI/AAAAAAAAFRc/aZIsUO43YX4/s640/blogger-image--1397561583.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x-Yyp3Vwo1Q/VaF7nJ6X5OI/AAAAAAAAFTA/5RJz0VmPKT4/s640/blogger-image--685737809.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x-Yyp3Vwo1Q/VaF7nJ6X5OI/AAAAAAAAFTA/5RJz0VmPKT4/s640/blogger-image--685737809.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RF510V5Faw0/VaF5ZZV4JgI/AAAAAAAAFRE/UIKMQnGKFoc/s640/blogger-image--649913419.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RF510V5Faw0/VaF5ZZV4JgI/AAAAAAAAFRE/UIKMQnGKFoc/s640/blogger-image--649913419.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GSJco9cPcac/VaF5U0-_JVI/AAAAAAAAFQs/1PrYJ0hbs5o/s640/blogger-image-182175039.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GSJco9cPcac/VaF5U0-_JVI/AAAAAAAAFQs/1PrYJ0hbs5o/s640/blogger-image-182175039.jpg"></a></div>That is the giant flag that is near the border crossing, at least I think it is, some guy told that to me as I was standing there looking at it.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m4PoNuhWzjc/VaF5WEMz76I/AAAAAAAAFQ0/PMYYE_qNmUc/s640/blogger-image-1091808521.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m4PoNuhWzjc/VaF5WEMz76I/AAAAAAAAFQ0/PMYYE_qNmUc/s640/blogger-image-1091808521.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>2 for 1 Margaritas, tacos, 80 pesos $5.33 </div><div>30 minutes later I was shitting my brains out, only for a couple minutes, then felt fine.
