Heavy Gringo Tax. Hot Girls.

Friday night, expected it to be busy. Arrived about 7:30, which is a little early for this club. Walked into Mexico without any issues. Not carrying anything in a bag, so I walked past the X-ray. No visa to complete. Walked over the bridge, but there is a path across the tracks at ground level that is a lot shorter, so I made a mental note. You just have to navigate the cars exiting Mexico. It is a little dark in this area, but there is some kind of headquarters for the soldiers at the end of the block, so there were about 20 of them milling about. Didn’t pay much attention to me when I walked through them. Saw a few trucks packed with soldiers patrolling the streets. Maybe a little more than past experience. Also, a heavy police presence.

Some kind of car show on the other side of the tracks was going on. Checked it out. Very interesting, but a few of them were having “sonic drags” which I believe is a US term for competing vehicles with music played at ear-splitting levels. He who destroys their hearing by age 30 wins.

There was also a stage with various music acts. Fun to check out and seems that something like this is occurring every weekend. There were some leather-bound dudes with jackets showing club logos. Didn’t seem to be any issues, but I wouldn’t want to get in the middle of them.
