the view from next door

Well you're probably plum tired of me posting about how I love realizing the world is so much bigger than just me, buutttt I couldn't resist. It's the US-Mexican border separating San Diego from Tijuana. Heads up, I'm not posting this to turn it into a political discussion. I just had never even thought about what the border would look like, and I am amazed that it so incredibly separate and distinct. It's like two completely different pieces of land or even two different worlds - well, actually that's probably because it is two different worlds. And only a single wall divides it. I don't know why it fascinates me so much. I guess because it shows how two places, two peoples, two worlds can technically exist side by side and yet be so different and separate. It's just something that made me sit there and stare at it and think for a few good minutes.
