Sombreros..Don't leave Mexico without 'em



A timeline of me and my brother's 15-hour Mexican adventure

10:12 p.m. Arrive in Santa Monica.

10:13 Headed toward the border.

12:15 Just crossed the border. Doing the patriotic thing by drinking Sam Adam’s – summer ale.

1247 a.m. Our first $20 goes toward paying the police off for peeing in public. Wish I could just pay the police off in America. Welcome to Mexico.

2:00 a.m. Arrive at some club in Rosarito. Guy tells us 12 bucks gets us drinks all night. Not really..

3:20 a.m. Arrive in Encinitas. Headed south til the sunrise.

4:01 a.m. Headed inland into Chihuahua county. Wrong move. Chihuahua county is No Man's Land, where many have been killed because of drug violence lately. Headed back toward the coast.

5:15 a.m. We’re trying to find a place to rest our heads. Resorted to knocking on some old lady’s door to see if we can park our car and sleep in her oceanfront driveway. $5 ocean views.

7:15 Rise and shine!

7:45 Surfing the pier in Encinitas. Sick lefts.. Me and my bro are the only ones without wetsuits. All the locals are laughing at us freeze our ass off. The taste of cheap tequila still sits in my mouth.

12:06 p.m. To go cups for my margarita. Only in Mexico..

1:00 p.m. Back in Encinitas for surf session #2. Troy can barely stand up on his board.

3:15 p.m. Bumping Gregory isaacs in the middle of the desert. Classic…

12:29 p.m. Ensenada tequila bar. Spilt salsa all over my shorts. Not surprised.

3:37 p.m. Headed back over the border. Sombreros back on.
