i hear there are donkeys in tiajuana
There are millions of donkeys in Mexico.
When I was in Mexico, I bought two donkeys and rode them, about six weeks into the mountainous terrain, west of Durango, all the way to the coast. It hurt like hell! I needed only one, but I also carried our survival gear, so the other one was loaded, although lighter than the one that carried me. I switched out each day. I really felt bad riding them, even though they outweighed me by a good bit. I often got off and walked uphill next to them, when they started to pant.
 
I was with a native guide and his son, who had plenty of donkeys between them, on a fishing trip and had a blast, but when it was over, I tried to give them the donkeys and the building I had bought to store my car. They would accept the building, no moral issue there, but they would not accept the donkeys. The donkeys had real value and they had to gather the family resources to"buy them" from me. I had paid three hundred dollars for the building and one hundred apiece for the two donkeys. They gave me eighty for both donkeys and accepted the building as a pilon.

I had had the time of my life, sleeping under a black sky for over a month, with zillions of nighttime stars visible, eating from the river and the desert plants. Growing up in a light-polluted area, I had only rarely seen a black sky, at  night.

DirtDawg, you have done some interesting things. That was a good story.

That was during my six month sabbatical, when I decided to change my "so-called career" from sound tech, live band manager/producer, PA system renter/operator to simple photographer (my first love).

I went through a lot of changes in a short time that year.
I also had a lot of fun.

Interestingly, I had sold off my PA gear and invested most of the money (as it turned out, wisely) and took off down the road on my own to explore the mountains. Towards the end of the trip I decided to go into Mexico and get lost for a while longer. I drew eight thousand dollars out, exchanged it for pesos and crossed the border. The interesting part is that in just over six weeks, I only spent around two thousand. I had lived pretty high up, compared to the locals, spent like crazy on anything I wanted, even bought a building, but still had most of my money when it was over. In reality, though, I had spent over four years local wages in about six weeks.

:D
