Borderline





We biked from Coronado to the Mexican border today. Well, as close as we could get. Had to park the bikes and walk the last half-mile along the beach. There were no fewer than 8 helicopters circling overhead like a carousel. Then we came to the outlet from the Tijuana estuary. We didn't want to wade across, so we sat on the beach and looked at the last half-mile through binoculars. I was curious to know if there really is a fence running all the way into the water. Of course there is! When it comes to securing our border, our government doesn't spare any expense.
Watched white pelicans feeding, and had some excellent fish tacos for lunch! Then came back to the boat and graded papers. :(
