As soon as you cross the border, the rich scent of culture fills the air.
I used to commute to Baja Mexico every week, sometimes every day, crossing the border. The job wasn't very interesting, but I looked forward to enjoying Mexico every time I crossed by car.

I used to be so eager to improve my surfing that I'd write it in my notebook every time and set daily goals. There was no YouTube back then, so I'd buy DVDs at local shops and watch them so many times that the gloss would wear off, haha.

In life, I am grateful for the encounters wherever I go.
