A "Perfect" Tijuana Weekend! (Labor Day '07)
I know, I know...Tijuana=Drugs & Guns and bad food. For the tourista who looks beyond the Zona Norte, there is so much fun to have there.
Especially on Labor Day weekend at Playas de Tijuana! I had such a wonderful time there with Chris 'Big Dog' Glass and his family from Tijuana,
Mexico.
Check out Big Dog's Ford Explorer. It turns everyones head down in Tijuana. And those are 37" Goodyear tires he's running on the street, too. Not
bad for hauling the family around Tijuana and for heading to the occasional off road event!

Bravo, Ken
There are so many hard working Tijuanaenses (forgive my spelling transgresions, fdt) who are out there everyday; commuting, earning a living,
providing for their families and trying to improve the city that they live in and... have a little fun on the beach, too.

Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for the photos and report.
Every time I see your Jeep... it makes me want one a Rubicon even more.

I agree. Good, hard-working people who are trying to have a decent life. Friendly people, too.
I am going to Colombia in 6 weeks, and I'll (of course) have a full, new batch of photos to share...Maybe, I can stick a "Got Baja?" sticker on a
military tank, if the soldiers there aren't looking???

This is a good example of what happens when a great "secret location" is revealed to a few friends... those darn beach-types(former surfers I
think)... did you notice all the porta-potties?????
