Un-patriotic 4th of July Week-end
We're heading south of the border for the 4th of July week-end but not after attending a birthday bash of our grand dame friend E. Anticipating hordes of fellow unpatriotic US citizens and immigrants looking for a cheap get-away, we plan to start early to have enough time to park our car in San Diego, take the trolley, cross the border on foot from San Ysidro and hail a cab to our car rental in Tijuana.
This year, we decided to drive further to Ensenada to check out this popular destination in Baja California next to Rosarito Beach where we enjoyed a holiday week-end years ago.
Besides, we've already done the get-early-to-the-beach-park-routine to watch the fireworks, not to mention the unsafe and headache inducing drive home. To this day, I still cringe when I recall the horrible traffic and accidents brought about by the scramble of getting home from the fireworks site.
