Tijuana is virtually the twin city of San Diego, California, but proximity ends the comparison. The easy-access international skywalk bridge seems to prepare you for an in-your-face tourist market leading to Revolución, the long north-south showplace avenue easily grasped by its numbered crossing streets. The next north-south avenue east, Constitución, is the more Mexican main street.
A walk up Revolución at least as far as 7th street will take you by some of the better (and cheaper) watering holes and, further, the moneychangers with the best rates. Hopefully the pictures on this and the next three pages will give you some perspective. (Pictures taken April 16, 2004) |

Inexplicably the traffic in the other directly is perpetually heavier. | A very full panorama is afforded by the walking bridge. The lack of vegitation and hilltop homes is perhaps what assaults and confuses your senses. |
