More than a 5-hour wait at San Ysidro today
Gritos y miles de claxon se escucharon, decenas de cofres abiertos para “enfriar” los carros, acompañados de caras bajas y suspiros; fue lo que se
observo este lunes en la Garita Internacional de San Ysidro en lo que fue el primer día de cierre para dar inicio a lo que será la primera etapa de
las remodelaciones del que está considerado el “magno proyecto” del gobierno de los Estados Unidos.
El cierre total de ocho carriles, ubicados en el lado izquierdo, provocaron que en la frontera más transitada del mundo y por donde ingresan
diariamente más de 40 mil vehículos, la espera se volviera tortuosa.
La combinación de la temperatura que alcanzó los 23 grados centígrados y las filas de más de 5 horas, hizo que los usuarios de la Garita Internacional
de San Ysidro se mostraran cansados y desesperados y es que para algunos no fue posible llegar a la escuela o trabajos.

English summary: Today was the first day of construction at the San Ysidro border crossing. Eight lanes were closed on the left side for construction.
Many people could not make it to work or school on time.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

once again chuck (fulano) is wrong. the construction started many months ago. the only "first" yesterday was the closure of appreciable number of
lanes.

"en la Garita Internacional de San Ysidro en lo que fue el primer día de cierre para dar inicio a lo que será la primera etapa de las
remodelaciones ..."
Does anybody here want to translate the Spanish taken directly from the newspaper article for Professor Meixner. He seems to be a little challenged
this morning.
