As you can see I am not doing so well on the whole weight thing. Not that it is a valid excuse, but Playas de Tijuana was really tempting. The taco you see here is a Marlin taco and it covered my whole plate. It cost me $1 dollar. Too much good food for too little of a price equals disaster on the waist line.
On the bright side however I did manage to do some walking while I was in Tijuana. Playas de Tijuana is a very off the beaten path in Tijuana. You don’t see many tourists there. The main reason for this is that Playas de Tijuana is the southernmost tip of Tijuana. You can take a taxi to get there, but it is going to cost you about $15 dollars. Which is not expensive in the US, but in Mexican terms it is a lot of money. The neighborhood is not really designed for tourists. I think there are only two hotels in this area. There are also not many “tourist attractions” in this area. The main one is the bull ring, but it is open only half the year. If you do visit Playas de Tijuana your main point of interest is going to be the beach (Playas means beach). When I was there I didn’t see many people in the beach, but it was kind of windy.
Here is a video I made while walking in Tijuana:

We walked about 3 miles. Denise stopped in the middle of our walk and got a haircut while AJ, my dad, and I continued walking to the beach. The streets of Playas de Tijuana are not very well kept, but as you get closer to the beach the scenery does improve. I particularly enjoyed looking at all the daisies in bloom.
