Going in is easy and traffic just flows with little if any stopping but comming back is a boring 3-4 hour wait at the border. I was more impressed with what Chula Vista had to offer than TJ. The wait to get back into the States is like a mobile Mexican market with vendors comming right up to you and kids with the gum and people missing legs or arms crawling around in between vehicles. It was a sight I will never forget and I was glad to cross back over. Without a doubt it was the worst side of Mexico that I have ever been exposed to. My childhood memories of going to TJ were much better and it was a safer and more appealing place to go 20+ years ago.
