This video documents what happened when our vacation rental flooded in Tijuana in January 2017. Our experiences in Tijuana have been nothing but positive, though, so this event doesn't reflect our true perception of Tijuana. The city wasn't anything like what we were expecting, but in a good way. We enjoyed our time there, and we'd definitely recommend it! Just maybe don't stay right on the ...
In January 2017 we visited Tijuana. We stayed in a vacation rental on the ocean, and at first we were all really excited about the views from the apartment. Until the Tijuana weather created a flooding situation when the rain came in through cracks around our window and from the apartment(s) upstairs. In this video, John talks about how he went upstairs to "break into" the apartment right above us to see if ...
On our first trip to Tijuana in January 2017, we stayed in a vacation rental on the beach. The sound of waves at night was calming and the sunsets were gorgeous, but the flood that we experienced when a storm rolled through was decidedly not pleasant. The apartment building we were living in was evidently not very well equipped to handle storms, since the leaks that came through the windows were ...

We visited Rosarito beach in early 2017 to see what all the hype was about. The beaches in Rosarito are considered to be prettier and better taken care of than those in Tijuana, so the city of Rosarito is a popular destination for beach seeking travelers. Rosarito is just a short distance outside of Tijuana by car.Related Posts:Top 5 Things to Do in Tijuana, Mexico for People Who Want a Cultural ...
You can't get any further northwest in Mexico than this... In Tijuana, it's called "el muro en la playa," or the wall on the beach. On the Mexican side of the border there's a monument (dedicated to the border), a malecón with shops, restaurants, and live musicians, and families out and about for a day at the beach. On the American side of the border, we saw only two people far away in the distance, no ...
In this video we discuss whether or not we should go to El Popo Market in Tijuana. Because it's located in Zona Norte (Tijuana's red light district), and we have a bright yellow FJ Cruiser that we'd have to find a safe parking spot for, we decided not to go. But, we figured that if we did want to go ever that we could get a cab to the Market from our vacation rental.Related Posts:Top 5 Things to Do ...
While visiting Tijuana, we visited Avenida Revolución. The street is on the northern side of Tijuana, and is just blocks away from Zona Norte. It has lots of opportunities for shopping and many restaurants. Before embarking on our adventure to Avenida Revolución, Jennifer noted that the home of the Caesar Salad is on the street, and that it was created in Hotel Caesar's (check out their website here). We ...

These are actually brothels that offer attached ...
We bring blow-up couches with us almost everywhere we go now. If we need an extra chair or bed in our vacation rental, we're able to use our blow-up furniture to make ourselves comfortable. In this video, we use our blow-up couch to add an extra chair in our rental in Tijuana, Mexico. Lydian and Jennifer talk about the blow-up couch. ...
