Tijuaneando en Bici, Tijuana Day 59

Walking out of Playas on Saturday to catch a taxi, we were overrun by dozens of bicyclists out for a ride through the city. Everybody's promoting cycling these days in TJ, from the Paseo de Todos which happens on the first Friday of the month, to Tijuaneando en Bici, cyclists […]

“Eight Days a Week” at La Chupiteria, Tijuana Day 36

A hint of frustration on hand-painted signs in front of an empty house down the street. An abandoned property in an out of the way corner can easily turn into informal dump for trash & discarded construction materials. Signs say, "Throwing trash here is prohibited. I'll get you and throw […]
