Tacos!

While in Tijuana we went for TACOS! At Tacos Los Paisas, good enough for Anthony Bourdain, good enough for me!
Really, really good tacos, I still dream of kind of tacos. We had the pork tacos and they were so good. How can they not be good when this guy is making them for you:

Here is one of the tacos, my plate is such a mess because I had four of them:

Right now I could eat four or more, they were SOOOO GOOD!
Tacos to dream of…….

What A Deal!

Twenty Dollar Hotel

Twenty dollars for a room! What a deal!
When not wanting to think about returning to a job that has grown stale seeing a hotel room for twenty dollars gives one ideas of staying indefinitely. Sure it’s not the Hilton but the beach is close, the wonderful little coffee shop is close. What more do you need?
Oh it’s an idea I’ll keep in my back pocket, good to know it’s there.

Boardwalk Tijuana

Once in Tijuana we caught a cab, they are right there when you enter Tijuana, then headed to the boardwalk. The day was a little overcast but still great for walking.

We started at the beginning (end?), this is the border. If we could jump the fence we could have walked back to my friends place in Imperial Beach.

We headed down the boardwalk and took in the scenes, there is A LOT of graffiti which I’ll post pictures of over the next few days.

After wandering for a while we stopped for a coffee at a really cute little place over looking the beach.

It had a very cool sink in the washroom, a big metal tub with rocks on the bottom. Simple but I really liked it.

Then we sat and enjoyed the view, watching the people pass and the waves roll in.

Perfect.

LUE!

This is Lue!

He was rescued by my friends, well by my girlfriend. She went to a shelter just to look (never a good idea) and he chose her. Pretty much yelling HEY YOU! YES YOU! I BELONG WITH YOU! She couldn’t leave him behind and so left with him that day hoping that her husband would be okay with it. He was. LUE is happily settled into his new home and totally has the house trained.

He is such a loveable wonderful happy boy and watching him run along the beach, playing in the surf is such a joy!

My name is Claire and I am a dog whore. It’s a problem. I get puppy envy all the time, I hug strange dogs and can’t stop myself form rubbing a dogs belly at every opportunity. LUE gave me my fill of hugs and belly rubs, he’s only a year old but is so well behaved. Wonder if he could come visit and teach my basset Kingsley some manners.
