Anyone who knows me very well knows that I can't sit still and I love to explore. So it only took a few days before I ventured a short way beyond the walls. There I saw the 2 million residents of the city going about their daily business. If you are not a Mayor, a policeman, or a drug dealer (or a family member of one of these) then you have nothing to fear.
Tijuana is NOT an attractive city, but it does have a wonderful climate. I am being cautious, and I do not go out after dark, but my world here is no longer contained within the walls.
This is a good place for Rick and I to be. Especially when you consider our options: either home doing nothing; or in a stateside hospital where we could not sleep in the same bed, where we would be woken all hours of the night, where we would get no fresh air, and where the expectation for recovery is very low. We are thankful to be in the Rubio Clinic, in Tijuana."
we know you are a rambler (and a gambler and a sweet talkin lady) Joan- ok, maybe not a gambler... those are lyrics.... Glad you are havin some adventure! and how cool that you have double bed- i did not know this! Here, in Atlanta, the color is still on the trees, tho it is muted compared to farther North. It's too warm, in my opinion, for being almost Thanksgiving! 70's in the day- as a high. I did however start decorating for Christmas yesterday- I know, but I just got in the mood!
ReplyDeleteSinging the songs, everything! Have yet to indulge in the eggnog, tho I saw it in the store. :) Happy Thanksgiving to you both!

ReplyDeleteI said...Joan, I am really glad you are getting out but also happy to hear that you are being smart and cautious.
Hey, have you read that book about running set in Mexico? It is called Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. Pretty interesting.
Love to you both.
