It was a day of high spirits, after all we were venturing into Mexico. To Tecate, Mexico for the brewery tour that is. This trip has been attempted before, but poor planning resulted in a closed factory. This time we were getting in for sure. Wrong, well not exactly we missed the tour, but we were still able to make the beer garden and receive some free drinks. Then came our birthday pal with another round of free drinks. This lasted until the beer garden closed, which wasn't very long again due to poor planning. We decided to head back to an outdoor restaurant located near the main market square. This resulted in 34 cervezas and 2 margaritas. This was when the crew of 12 decided to go get some authentic (and delicious) tacos. After the tacos we staggered around and wound up in another bar where the drinks kept flowing. Then came the tequila shots. Then came more drinks. It was time to leave Mexico and regroup back on the US side, but not before catching one last drink at a shady dive bar near the border. From here we stumbled back across to the US side basically carrying each other for moral (and physical) support. Alas, America, We had made it. Well some Passport issues kept or British friend for a bit, but that got solved. We greeted America by climbing a rock to celebrate (for some reason my pants fell down). Then it started to go downhill. While climbing down the rock that moments before had seemed victorious, one member sprained his ankle. Then another member fell flat on her face resulting in a huge gash and LOTS of blood loss. We managed to get everyone in the van and began traveling home. According to the sober driver (who was paying more attention than I) we got pulled to the side by a border check point a few miles up the road. They opened the back and saw the blood and let us go agreeing we would go to the hospital. Slight detour to the hospital resulted with a refusal to enter the building. No choice now, but to head home and get some rest.
VIVA LA MEXICO!!!
