For the second time since we are back in San Diego, we drive south to Otay Lake and then up to the mountains along the Mexican border. Today Wenche joins us and the weather is much better (less foggy) than last week. The area is much dryer now than it was back in spring - it is all brownish and the green has completely vanished. What has not changed are the border patrols that are spying out the area along the Mexican border. They are very present, much more, now that they have these drug problems with Mexico, than a few years ago. As expected, the view today is much better, we can see all the way to Coronado, Point Loma and down town and to the other side we can see far into the hilly backland of Tijuana, Mexico. Beautiful!
