Saw online that they are charging people who cross on foot a fee to come into Mexico from California.. Maybe eventually vehicle traffic as well. Yikes
I also just read this this am and I also read this last year. MX has been trying this for a while and it seems like they are only doing this at crossings where tourist is low. Lets hope so.
Actually they are only charging about $20 bucks if you are staying over 7 days when you walk across the border. You get a 180 day visa for the $20 and they are doing this at the busiest crossing in the world San Ysidro the gateway to Tijuana.
I can honestly say that I have only set foot in TJ once in my life and I'll never go back.
Back in the 60's it was a right of passage for high school kids in S Cali to go to TJ and raise hell. I don't remember much my first trip there except the first few hours; not leaving at all.:D I woke up the next morning on my back in the bed of a pickup truck at Crescent Bay in Laguna Beach. I woke wondering why I was looking up at Eucalyptus trees. o_O
