I'm home!
Wow, what a trip!
I meet the lady pretty much as planned and everything went great.
She is very beautiful and charming. We both had a great time and lots of laughs.
This was really my 1st in depth trip to Tijuana. I must say that TJ is a little dangerous compared to most other places I'v been in baja. One must
know what they are doing there and that might not be enough to stay out of trouble there. I did have a few brief problems both with the law and street
crime. Nothing serious for me though.
There was one tragic event though. My lady and I went to Playas De Tijuana after a late lunch. The beach there is nice and we sat in the sun and
enjoyed the beauty of the late afternoon.
After we went to our vehicles and her Ford Explorer had been brokn into and the igniion busted in an attempt to steal it. They failed but the didi
steal her purse with all her cards and csh plus driver's license. She was terribly distraught and crying. I did all I could do which wasn't much but
lend a shoulder to cry on. Her car was undrivable so I paid to have it towed to her house and gave her a ride home.
She recovered okay after a while and was very classy and stoic about the whole thing. I'm sure she is working the phone today to try and get things
fixed.
Thank you to everyone who took an interest in my little story. It was a fun adventure. There is no better way to learn about a place than through it's
people. I feel a little wiser and enriched by the experience.
I'm sure I'll be seeing the lady again in the future. This gives me a really good reason to work on my spanish.
Have fun out there everybody!
Tijuana tip #1:
Don't let the street girls (sexy kind) start hugging and kissing you. They are really just distracting you so they can reach in your pocket and get
about $40 of your beer money.
It happens quick too.
And you won't know until you order a beer and then can't find any money to pay for it. Embarrassing!

In my trips to Tijuana, Tecate, etc., I know the cities aren't the outback and vice versa. Stuff gets stolen...fast. Its always good to stay alert.
I'm glad to hear that otherwise, your trip went well.

Phone rates using http://www.pennytalk.com/?gclid=CKSQ1dDuiJQCFSQdagod8SZAXA are much better than using http://www.skype.com on you PC to call Tijuana.
In roughly 1 year, my Spanish went from "so-so/bad" to "pretty good." I'm sure your lady friend will be happy to help teach you. Also, a
Spanish-language grammar book wouldn't hurt, either.

Mike, I hope you felt some electricity. Leaving the purse in the car (allegedly) raises some suspicions, but you're the best judge of that. In any
case, I sincerely hope you had an enjoyable afternoon. You forgot to mention "next steps."

I hadn't thought of that angle. But I'm sure the break in was real. We flagged the cops down and made a report.
I admit that leaving the purse was questionable judgement. But I left all my stuff in my truck parked right by her. Passport, wallet... todos. So I
guess I just got lucky.
I had put my club on the wheel and my truck won't start without the "chipped" key. Her truck was just an easier target.
She did ask for the $40 it cost to tow her truck. Her money was in the purse and she lost $250 which was alot to her. So what would you do? I
certainly cared much less about that $40 than I did helping her.
But thank you for your paranoid suspicions. It certainly is a possibility.

If you're always worried about getting "ripped off" or "jacked", it takes all of the magic away. If it were me, I'd offer to take her to dinner again
real soon, and find someone in town who could fix her Explorer. Labor there in town is cheap (to us), but not always prompt.

¡Sí, el aprendizaje en la cama es el mejor!
I just talked to my lady and she is okay. I will see her again in a couple of weeks.

She dressed very nicely. Tight slacks and tight top. Red top too! And yes she made me crazy like a bull!

Buck, I think you should respect her privacy - if it were me, I wouldn't want my photo on the internet for a forum group to comment on.
