Crossing the Mexico border

The first thing I noticed when crossing the U.S.-Mexico border was security. Mainly because it took me less than 30 seconds to get into the country of Mexico. I also noticed the view was different. Instead of having spaced out homes and buildings. Everything was compact as far as the eye could see. Many people of all ages were eager to sell you something. From chicklets to fake rolex watches. The people were very kind, the city was busy and conjested. Something that I noticed about law and order in Mexico was the police officers did what they wanted. When leaving mexico I noticed that while taking 30 seconds to enter into Mexico, it took over 45 minutes just to get enter the U.S. Customs building to return to the U.S.This is what I noticed when I entered and exited Mexico, yeah.

Really great observations, Austin! You're very right -- it is so easy to enter Mexico, but so hard to get back! I would go down to Tijuana more often except that takes so much waiting to get back to the States. Thanks for sharing!
