lundi soir: hablamos espagnol!

there were doubters,

dissuaders, and even a few fans

but on monday, september the 18th, 2006, at just after 6pm
after over 1,500 miles, 4 states, 8 tanks of gas...
les routardes arrived au mexique


someone had warned us about being sold into white slavery

but this was really our home for the night, motel leon

we were told, above all, tijuana was:
a. dangerous
b. full of americans
oui mais...
not a monday night in late september!

recommendation to all future visitors of tijuana: pretend you're french
american tourists will be bothered by the locals,
but if you instead respond with:
a. "pero.. hablo espagnol!" mdv
or
b. "uuuuh français? no ingles..." gp & jr
you will find tijuana a welcoming and amusing experience

among the population of tijuana with whom we were quickly friends
there was sergio

who brought us to an internet café and showed us a justin timberlake music video
so naturally we showed him the blog
