Back in the 1970’s, my dad took our large family on a western vacation toCA and AZ we even stopped in Tijuana and had a great time.
Around 1958 my father in law graduated high school left NH and moved to San Diego. He enrolled in San Diego state and got a job working at night in the factory building Corvair jets. However he lived in Tijuana. Above a whore house.
He eventually learned to speak Spanish fluently. Which led to his career in international sales traveling the world selling textile manufacturing equipment. He is now 87. He still loves to talk about that time in southern CA & Mexico.
