San Diego to Mexico

Santa Ana Mountains It has been SNOWING!

San Diego; We had to go there to pick up a box for our satellite system and made a few other stops but we are both glad to get out.

Too many clones/people/cars/shopping malls and almost everybody was rude or disinterested. It was quite a shock after the excellent service we had had through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and the south east corner of California. There were exceptions, the staff in Vons a branch of Safeways were first rate as were the ladies in WalMarts Tyre and Lube department who diagnosed a fault in our house batteries and produced a replacement while dealing with a customer who had had her purse stolen and was in full, Hollywood, nervous breakdown mode.

Portero State Park As we drove up to the Mexican border we could see the effects of the wildfires that have ravaged this area in the last few years. Even the park itself had not escaped.


Some trees showing fire damage but with new growth and others were just cinders and blackened shards.

Mexico

Carol’s bit

Got to Mexico yesterday, Tecate, went through as fast as possible, you don’t drive at night here or park in vulnerable places. Parked at a nice little RV park, and we found GRASS the real stuff, so Charro had lots of smells this morning. We had a frost too, I thought we were coming to the warm sun.


Went into Encinada today , quite a nice shopping precinct very clean and guess what !





I know where C & A went.








Charro's Bit
I want to know where the grass has gone. We are here in gravel again.

The fat one said it is nice and safe here but I think it is just because it does not cost much. He is sooooo cheap.


OK it is quite funky here but I want my grass! The view might be good and the local house a bit different but there is NO GRASS.
