I finished my blog last year mentioning the fact the I can see the development of a middle class here in Tijuana. That was evident again last night during our visit to Rosarito for shopping and dinner. The traffic was busy and the club scene was hopping. We wandered down to the beach, and there were numerous bands playing, people riding horses through the edge of the surf, and a spirit of excitement and enthusiasm in the air. We heard one band member announce that "Trump Sucks," through the microphone to cheers from the crowd but other than that we observed no hostility toward Americans (like us). We heard live music and voices coming from somewhere in the neighborhood until about 4:30 in the morning.
The weather here is fantastic as usual. The native plants in the garden the staff planted have grown huge and you can see and hear a variety of birds among them. The fountain was flowing and it was neat to see a large crow drinking from the top of it, followed by several hummingbirds that took turns taking dips or drinks. The hummingbirds were smaller than the crow's head.
Some of our group went out for a breakfast of Birria (possibly misspelled) a beef dish, or will be going to mass at the Catholic Church within walking distance of the compound where we stay. We've met a few students from the University of Massachusetts, Boston and are excited to get the week started.
