Gilberto met us in front the McDonalds at the blue line train in San Ysidro. He was very patient and kind as we walked across the border. From there we took a bus to the downtown area. He we were able to visit markets where fresh produce was available for purchase. I had a couple of things I definitely wanted to do, and we were able to swing those things in while we walked through Tijuana. I felt very safe with him, as he would quickly glance at people who would try to sell, speak to them quickly, then I was left alone. I felt like he was a guardian angel. At the same time, if I was interested in something, Gilberto would help by interpreting back and forth. The tacos and the beer restaurants were both such pleasant surprises. He then accompanied us all the way back to the border. I highly reccommend this trip. Especially for your first time to TJ!
