If you know me, you know that most of the time on this blog has taken place in Calexico, California, a small place on such a large map that hardly anyone knows about. Calexico is a border town, connecting with the Mexican city of Mexicali just minutes away. This is where my father's side of the family partly grew up (Mexicali), so I have family on both sides. And this is where I would sneak off to in the early part of my twenties, especially after I met Alex at the only Starbucks around. Every Friday came and I'd take off, away from the hustle and bustle of the city that is San Diego, leaving people wondering why I'd leave such an "awesome" place to come to the scorching desert. I partly grew up here, and it's always nice coming back. A place where dreams have literally come to life...
