Today was fun.
-We surprised my mom for her birthday with a tour bus filled with friends and family. We headed across the border down to Puerto Nuevo. There, the waiters at all of the restaurants came out to try to lure us in. "$15! $13.50! $14 with free margaritas!"...and so on. (They were giving the prices for a lobster dinner, because they had seen our bus come into town.) Lunch was great, and they made her take a birthday mystery shot with tequila. It made the afternoon a lot more interesting because my mom can't take much alkeehol. Walking past shops after lunch, she picked up a spear (about as tall as her) and said, "Ah, I need one of THESE!" And then she walked over to a mosaic turtle and attempted to hunt it. I looked in some illegal accessories shops which sold butterfly knives, switchblades, numbchuks, and brass knuckles. Switchblades are legal however, if you are missing an arm. I told everyone who offered me brass knuckles, "No I already have a pair at home."
-Then we got in the bus and went to Rosarito Beach. My priority was finding a deal on fireworks, so my friend Steve and I went to every store we could and looked for a good deal. Most of the good stuff was still sold out from New Year's, "Just snakes and Sparklers." We found a place with good stuff and bought some garbanzo beans, about 24 bottle rockets, and a bag of 100 m-60's. (We didn't want to spend a lot because there was a strong chance of us getting our explosives confiscated.) I only spent $7, but I'm planning on going down with my car to go get some more. Everyone wanted to rent horses on the beach, and I saw the place to rent quads, so I said, "Ah, fuck that, I'm gonna go ride a quad." I went to the guy and he said, "$25 for half-hour."... :( ..I said, "Ah, fuck that I'm gonna go back to the horses." So when Steve and I got on the horses, we pulled out the sticks we picked off the beach, to make the horses go faster, but the guide kid yelled, "No no no no!" so we just rode the horses slow.
----The Chargers just lost, and I've lost my train of thought, so I'll edit this with more of the story when I remember it.....I'm going to the desert tomorrow. \nn/
