La Jolla, California

These are my final hours within my own country for the next several months. I'm incredibly excited, but also a little anxious. I'll be taking a lot of buses, a trolley and a taxi today to get to Mexicali. The only thing I'm really concerned about today is paying too much for a taxi from the border to the Tijuana bus station. If I can do that cheaply, I'll be set for the day.

So long, America. See you in a while.
