So this trip report is a bit different. On
my last trip I met a girl at Tropical Bar. We stayed in touch and when I told her that I would be in Tijuana she few in from Monterrey to work a little and hook up with me between shifts. So I didn't do any escort agencies, and I spent a lot of time doing touristy stuff in San Diego.
Saturday
Arrived in SD and did my usual run to the border on the trolley. I had an FMM printed out and ready. In the foreigners line they were calling people up one by one, looking at their passport and waving them through. When I got there I handed the guy my passport and my FMM and he directed me to wait at the kiosk. About 5 minutes later someone comes out, stamps my passport and the FMM and waves me through. So having the proper paperwork cost me a bit of time.
Arrived at Pueblo Amigo @ noon, too early to check in, so I left my bags at the front desk and went out for lunch. there's a new, fancy food court at the Quartz Spa Hotel down the street called "
The Park". There are probably 15 different restaurants and you can order from any of them off a single menu. I had some ceviche and a taco from Lion Fish. Damned tasty and a really nice space close to my hotel. Kind of expensive, as one would expect at Quartz.
Finally got into my room at 2:30pm, just in time for a nap. I took an uber to the zona and had an early dinner of fried chicken at Pollo Milagro near the arch. After that I wandered the zona a bit checking out the clubs and alley. Everything seemed back to normal at this point, except the masks on the street.
Alejandra messaged me that her shift was going to be 7:00 pm to 4:00 am, and there was no way I was staying up that late, even with the nap, considering my early fight and the time zone change. So she agreed to come to my hotel on her "dinner break" and then go back to work. She got there around 9:00 and we had a good time for an hour before she headed back $100 richer. I went to bed right after.
Sunday
Woke up earlyish and worked on my laptop for a couple of hours, then ubered to the zona. I picked out a paradita standing outside La Carreta. Can't remember her name, but she was short and cute and quoted 500 for full service + 100 for the room. For $30 is wasn't a "bad" time, but she was a totally disinterested starfish. Still, mediocre sex for less than a lap dance here? I'll take it.
Ate lunch Birrieria Guadalajara just around the corner before heading into Adelita. While there I met Maricela from Oaxaca. We had a great time in the bar. She said she was new (they all do), and I promised I'd be back for her the next day. Gave her my number and she kept in touch through the day. She recommended a Oaxacan restaurant on Revo for dinner and I promised to check it out.
The restaurant was called
Casa de la Tlayuda but I guess they changed their name to
Piedra Santa? Both names are on the building, but they have two different web sites and two menus. But when I got there they only gave me the Piedra Santa menu. I asked and they said Casa de las Tlayudas is the same place. Tlayudas are a Oaxacan dish that's almost a pizza. It's a large tortilla made with a different kind of masa, and topped with a variety of different options. Unfortunately, due to the Oaxaca airport being closed, they were out of a lot of their traditional Oaxacan food, including tlayudas. I ended up with a delicious plate of pork ribs with a dark mole sauce (costillas con mole negro).
After dinner I walked down to the zona to see what was up. Alejandra was supposed to leave early Monday morning, so we had planned on her spending Sunday night with me and then leaving for the airport in the morning. But for some reason she changed her flight to Tuesday -- I think she wanted to work another shift, and of course one more session with me was guaranteed money. But with the extra day (and an extra shift), she again was working 7pm-4am. I hung out in the zona for a few hours waiting for her -- Hong Kong, Adelita, Chicago. Plenty of options for killing time rubbing on cute girls.
Around 9:00 she messaged me to meet her and we jumped in a cab. When we got near the hotel she said she was actually hungry and asked the driver to take her somewhere close. Instead he starts driving towards Zona Rio. I'm getting increasingly annoyed, as there are a dozen restaurants within a short walk of the hotel. Finally I say no, somewhere closer, and he suggests Cochi's Place. It's a food court and has some decent options, and he drops us off there. But it's after 9:00 on a Sunday night, so no one serving food is open. Instead we walk 20 minutes back to my hotel and go to the restaurant, where she orders a bowl of soup (and a beer). Seriously?
We head up to the room and have a good time -- she's in no hurry to leave and we hang out for a while before she decides to head back to work around 11:00. I just do some work in my room and head to bed.
Monday
Got up in the morning and headed to the zona around 11:00. I reserved a $20 room at Coahuila just for the cheap base of operations, and because I knew I'd be looking for Maricela. She started working at noon and I found her right away. As we were sitting in the booth she wasn't as playful as before, but had her hand down my pants playing with the joystick pretty aggressively. Guess she knew I was interested. She wanted $100 + an extra $50 for bbbj. I should have bailed but little head was in charge. Talked her down to $100 including bbbj -- I was hoping that since it was my room we might have more than 30 minutes at that price. In the room, though, she was detached and boring. Followed directions but was very passive. Her coochie smelled even though I'm pretty sure I was the first of the day. Finished as fast as I could and sent her on her way. Would not repeat.
Around 1:00, I headed to San Diego for the afternoon. I took the ferry to Coronado and wandered around the island for a bit. I hadn't been there in 20 years, but it seemed like not much had changed. When I returned to the border, I just showed the agent my passport, not the FMM. He asked my business ("dinner with friends") and he waved me in.
Went back to Piedra Santa to ask about the tlayudas but they still hadn’t gotten the ingredients from Oaxaca, so I went to El Muchacho Alegre. Ordered ceviche and a fish filet topped with shrimp and cheese, both of which were excellent and decently priced. There was a band playing but I got a table as far away as possible, so it was tolerable. I would for sure go back.
At 9:00, Alejandra messaged that she would meet me at Tropical when her shift ended at midnight. I wandered the Zona for a bit. Chicago was boring. Hong Kong was promising but crowded, even on a Monday. Then like an idiot I went into Tropical without thinking. Alejandra was right at the door and recognized me even with the mask on. She grabbed me and we sat for a drink, but I wasn't going to keep buying her fichas. She said it made her uncomfortable for me to be there while she was working. So, she agreed to meet me at my hotel, rather than have me hang around in the zona waiting for her (and potentially meeting other girls?).
So I decided to hang out in the zona and meet other girls. Adelitas had lots of hotties and would have been great if I had the time to stay. Met Luna de Verá Cruz. Hoy shit this chick is gorgeous. Funny and sexy, if a bit too thin. I may have to come back for her another day. She works 10pm-6am, so not in the club for daytime fun. I should have grabbed her number for Tuesday pre-shift. I retrieved my stuff from my room at Coahuila and returned to my hotel.
Despite her shift ending at midnight, Alejandra didn’t arrive until 1:30am, and then she had to be up at 7am for her flight. She was still wound up from her shift and wasn’t interested in sleep at all. She said some guy insisted on sex without a condom, and when she said no he refused to pay for the session. Apparently the police were called and it was a damper on her final shift. After a couple of beers, she relaxed enough to go to bed. Sex was as good as ever, and we snuggled together for the couple of hours before she had to leave. This time I gave her 2500 pesos ($125) since that was the cost of her plane ticket.
Tuesday
After seeing Alejandra off, I went back to sleep until 9:00. I headed to the border and took the trolley and bus all the way to la Jolla. It was a good two hours, but considering my lack of sleep I didn’t mind the time relaxing away from the zona. Spent the day hiking along the cliffs, riding a scooter around town, and generally enjoying the decent weather.
Around 6:00 I returned to TJ. The customs agent asked the purpose of my visit and I said, “Dinner with friends” He said, “Didn’t you do that yesterday?” I replied, “I have lots of friends”. He filled out an FMM and waved me through.
Dinner was at La Corriente Cevicheria Mas Nais, which is my go-to when I don’t want to think about where to go. After dinner I wandered the zona checking out the various clubs but wasn’t feeling the energy. This was the only day I’ve ever spent in Tijuana without even taking up even one girl. I had one session Saturday (Alejandra), two on Sunday (street girl then Alejandra), and two on Monday (Maricela and Alejandra).
Wednesday
I got up in the morning and did some shopping on Revo for some gifts, before packing and heading to the border. I crossed @ noon to get to airport. The trip home was uneventful.
Not the best trip. It was complicated by a couple of things. Biggest one was that I spent WAY too much time waiting around for women. I don’t know why I keep believing latinas when they promise to meet me at a certain time. There were a couple of days that I would definitely have gotten an escort had I known how late Alejandra would be every time we were supposed to meet. Plus, her promise of wanting to spend all her time in Tijuana and sleep with me every night was clearly bullshit – she was more interested in her shifts. Had I known the Sunday TLN would become a dinner date and the Monday TLN would be 2:00-7:00am, I would have done things differently.
Oh well. A mediocre four days in Tijuana is better than four great days in Missouri. I’ll be back as soon as I can. I just may not tell Alejandra next time.
