town.calexico

Calexico California is an agricultural town right on the Mexican border. On the other side sits the much larger city of Mexicali. Numerous earthquakes have struck near here in 2010, so the earth is definitely rockin & rollin on the deserts edge of the Sea of Cortez. Whether Baja will become an island soon is all a big wonder. Will it take SoCal with her?

DanaMite with brother Deryl, his new dog, Escaper Paul - all outside of yummy Mount Signal Mexican Cafe. Notice my totaled Isuzu Amigo that I am testing out. Had to take it for a spin to make sure it was worth saving.
