Tijuana -- Why Tijuana?

We decided to spend two nights of this trip in Tijuana, Mexico. A lot of our friends wondered why. Well...

• I like to leave the United States every few months even if it only for a little.
• I wanted to discover the "other Tijuana." I have seen the Avenida Revolución, but felt there must be other stuff to see.
• I had previously had good food experiences in Mexico, and I wanted to repeat them.
