Everyone in the photo looks so comfortable. And then I noticed in the family photo, on the very right, you can just see the lettering on the sign for the "Foreign Cl" but that's all we see. Great photo and postcard. My family and I grew up too far from Tijuana to ever have visited so it's fun to read other peoples' memories.

My folks included in the 1940s. Then as a child I can remember going to Tijuana when I was around 4 years old. My folks bought me a colorful table and chairs and a matching set for my dolls. Alas none of it came out of storage. I used to enjoy going to Tijuana. That's not going to happen anymore.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-54362724535264113352011-02-27T11:39:56.962-08:002011-02-27T11:39:56.962-08:00Fabulous photograph - and matched and enhanced wit...Fabulous photograph - and matched and enhanced with a postcard. thanks for continuing to share these with us here on Sepia Saturday.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-46743495019734342752011-02-27T10:27:27.361-08:002011-02-27T10:27:27.361-08:00nice post!!

Your Mom is a doll! <br /><br />My husband's Grandma Pearl used to drive her Mom and friend to Tijuana from Huntington Beach in an old Model-T ... she was 11 and their designated driver! Isn't that funny? <br /><br />Cary's grandma on the other side said that when she moved to Huntington Beach, that land cost .50 an acre by the beach, but that nobody wanted it because you couldn't grow anything on the sand.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by to say hi. Well, since we don't live to far away, maybe some day we can meet in person. Have a wonderful weekend, and stay warm!Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-34443687988045977612011-02-26T00:39:53.466-08:002011-02-26T00:39:53.466-08:00That beats the donkey rides at Whitby.
