About 10 years ago I did a last minute yacht movement San Diego to Cabo - grabbed my passport and clothes and off I went.
Went to the SJD airport to buy a ticket back and was detained and taken to an interview room - the officers were efficient but didn't take kindly to
my joke about illegal Americans in Mexico...
I was documented and taken to the FMM office and I was escorted back to the ticket counter and got my ticket home.

I met an older chap down in GB next to Alfonsinas. This 70sh yo guy hadn't been back to the states in 30 years.
I wish I could get them to open up, sounds like a great book project. |
Wonder what ever became of Gotta Peso? |
He's still around. From Google Earth:

Is he still around?
Way back in the day (before our time and we have been here 15 years), a Chinese immigrant to La Bocana who was a businessman was escorted to the
border. I cannot remember what he did to pee people off, but they took his house from him and sent him packing.

I have a now long dead Uncle who got "deported" by Poncho Villa!
He owned a vegetable farm several miles below the border and one night his employees came a told him Poncho was coming to kill him. He put on some
clothes and boots, grabbed his pistola and started to run cross country for the border. He made it, without being caught. He never went back.
He turned out to be a pretty good oil painter years later in the Palm Springs area in the 1950s
