Thursday 26 May.
An interesting drive from LA to Mexico. We managed to squeeze people and luggage into 2 cars and head south on Highway number 5. We stopped for lunch in San Diego - actually Old San Diego, which is a historic area a little along the lines of Sovereign Hill. Enjoyed our first "Mexican" meal.
We were able to drive straight across the border without being stopped. Suddenly the road signs were no longer clear and we detoured a bit from our original plan. Sarah and the GPS did some great navigating and Tim was a fabulous driver, bringing us very comfortably to our destination, Quinta de Shaddai, somewhere near Ensanada. The place has terrific views across the valley to mountains beyond but is not well set up for families with little children.
The contrast between the USA and Mexico is immediate and intense as soon as you cross the border. You can see why people look for a new life in the land of opportunity. There were some lovely views as we drove along the coastline and a number of resorts, with the homes of the very poor practically next door.
