This is a fun and adventurous meetup. It involves a 1.5 mile hike through the Tijuana Estuary (not in Tijuana) and then along the beach to the border fence. There will be friends from the Mexican side there waiting for us. We'll arrive around 1pm and do a one hour language exchange. The rough format is that we will Speak English only for half the time and then Spanish only for the other half of the time. It's often hard to stick to that exactly, but that's the goal. It's always a great experience for everyone. The people we'll be meeting are people of all ages that want to practice their English and are willing to help people with their Spanish. So if you want to practice your espaņol (I know everyone does :-) with a native speaker living in a Spanish speaking country and are willing to help someone with their English, it should be a lot of fun.
Note - the park is open but there may be an issue with Border Patrol. They know and are usually ok with this (I always tell them ahead of time what's going on). However, they do have complete authority within a certain distance of the fence to change their mind. On the off chance this happens, the back up plan is to go to Tijuana and meet with the folks there at a cool cafe near the center of town (we might do that anyway after for those who are interested and have time to go into Mexico).
Let me know if you have any questions. Gracias, Dan
