Although we expected to spend more time in a Mexican kitchen preparing our lunch, our afternoon included a colorful walking tour of downtown Tijuana. The kitchen experience consisted of making a few tortillas and preparing some delicious tacos and quisidillas. It was fun, but most of the ingredients we used were previously prepared. We wish we could learn how the restaurant cooked the tasty chicken we used. We had a lot of fun, and some of the restaurant’s patrons watched us learn how to cook tortillas. After lunch we joined Lela for an interesting visit to the markets downtown and learned about some of the foods that the cooks use when preparing food. Lela was an exceptional guide, who spoke perfect English. Note: The meeting place is actually on the Mexican side of the border. We experienced a long wait at the end of our day as we returned to the US.
