well, i'm back at home now and started my new job last monday and between that and getting caught up on sleep and readjusting to nb time, i'm now finally able to post the last couple of days of my trip. things went ok getting back, just a few delays and some missing pilots, but other than that i got home on time and started my new job! i just finished my first week, and i have a bit of info overload, but i think it'll be ok. the people in my class are really friendly and we all get along great, and our trainers are awesome! anyways, here is what i did last friday and saturday on my last two days in LA!
Friday:
jen and i made a 2 hour drive south to go to tijuana, mexico! this was my first experience in mexico, and i must say.. big time culture shock! first of all, we parked in the US and then walked over to tijuana... there wasn't much for customs.. just a couple of barred gates and in you went. there was a guard sitting in the middle of the gates, but he was just reading a newspaper and didn't even look up as we walked by.. hmmm.. tight security!! hahah... then after we got over there we walked a little ways to get to downtown... there were people trying to sell you stuff everywhere... it was kinda dirty and gross and you just felt bad for them.. they would say anything to get you to come in to their shop to buy something..one guy yelled over to us "hey senioritas.. u come in, i rip u off less" hahah... u could barter for prices and really beat them down to a very low price... 
there were shops set up all along a ped way that you had to walk across to get to downtown 
eatin my true mexican taco... so afraid i was gonna get sick, but i didn't...

we met a couple of andy and jenny's friends who had driven over from phoenix the night before for a youth event.. we met them at IHOP in burbank for breakfast and visited with them for a couple of hours... this was my last day in cali, and we were close so we took andy to hollywood to show him around, then we drove up through the hills to look around. this was also the only day that it rained while i was there, so i'm gonna say it made it a little easier to leave, but don't really believe it!! ;)
andy, jenny, amy, josh
