In my room, Hotel Villagran, on Calle Tercera, connected to Pasaje Gomez. A day with its up & downs.
Ups: Got across the border& found my hotel easily (thank you, Google Maps!). Likewise, got to Playas & back via surface streets.
Downs: Bad Internet connection, didn't see that Antonio Escalante wasn't going to be in Playas! Have to reschedule our talk.
But getting in lots of conversation, Spanish & English, with folks at parking lots, shop keepers, the hotel staff, & with Gato Omar at Gypsy Cats & with Stu, of Voodu Stu, the New Orleans-inflected restaurant in Pasaje Rodrguez, where I ate tonight. Heard interesting things about the ups & downs of the emerging art scene here.
Manana in la manana, heading to Rosarito to see Aldy & Heri, the folks who rented to us this summer. Great, hard working big hearted couple. Mas manana.
Photo captions go here: El Faro, the lighthouse, in front of the Playas bull ring & the U.S. border fence.
Traffic tonight on Calle Tercera, 3rd Street.
