SD6: Buy some of my junk
Today's action took our family south of the boarder to Tijuana, Mexico. It was about what I expected, but easier to cross the boarder than I thought it would be.
We took a shuttle over which dropped us in the heart of the tourist portion of the city. From everywhere there were people holding things out and asking us to come into their store "for the heck of it," so we could "buy some more junk." They even offered free and valet parking for the stroller.
We only spent a few hours there, not much to see or do once you've walked a block or so, so we bought some junk that we'll throw away in a few years and headed back to the bus stop. The bus dropped us off at customs and we waled through and got on the bus to go back to the parking lot.
After lunch we went to the park and let Kevin play on the various equipment for about an hour, then headed back to the hotel. Teri got in some pool time and I took a long awaited nap, then back out for dinner.
Today was the day for overpriced meals. For lunch we went to the City Delicatessen; being a deli, I thought they would have deli type prices, but it's a place that's trying to be chic. Most of the sandwiches were $8, another $1 for cheese, and another if you want fries...$10 for a ham sandwich? No thanks. I had pancakes and Teri had a hot turkey sandwich. The food was good and I got some cookies from the bakery as well.
For dinner we ate at Sammy's Wood fired pizza. It too was over the top price wise. Their deserts run around $7.95. Teri and I split a pizza and Kevin got a kid's pizza (which is very well priced; 5 inch pizza for $3.95 including drink). Of all the food that we've had out here, I think I'll miss the wood-fired pizza the most. Something about the way it's cooked makes for an outstanding crust.
Tonight, we have some down time. Most of the stuff has been packed, we're both had our fill of going places and we're just sitting here, blogging, and enjoying the sounds of babbling coming from the other room where Kevin is supposed to be sleeping.
