In October of 2001, I released
a report on the
flood hydrology of Cottonwood Creek - Arroyo Alamar, in San Diego County, California,
and Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
To accomplish the field work, I spent a lot of time inspecting the watershed on both sides of the border,
in Eastern San Diego County, and in Baja California, specifically in Tijuana and Tecate.
One day my student assistant and I decided to take a break and enjoy a well deserved taco.
We headed for Taqueria La Única, in one of the suburbs of Tijuana, but could not find a parking
spot next to the taco shop. After some looking around, I was able
to park in an empty spot next to a nearby icecream stand.
After finishing our tacos, we headed back to the car.
To my surprise, the young man at the stand signaled to me with his hand. I thought he was
going to tell me not to park there again, or, at the very minimum, to extol a charge for the
short time that I parked on his premises.
Instead, to my surprise, he said: "Sir, you can park here any time you wish!"
I confirmed one more time Tijuana's famed hospitality.
