Yes, S., with the various sites of Mexico represented in miniatures - I just checked my Lonely Planet book and tijuana.com but could not find the name/if it's still there, sorry. I paid a weekly rent in a Tijuana hotel, and also made day trips back over the border to San Diego, the Baja Peninsula (seeing Mexican jumping beans for the first and only time), the golf course, the Cultural Centre (bought an excellent print by Diego Rivera), etc. Before that, via the same return plane ticket from Sydney, I was here...

Poem 37 of 230: RODEO DRIVE

On visiting Los Angeles,
    I thought I'd walk Rodeo Drive.
I'd passed a few up-market shops
    When an hombre said, "Take one please."

'Twas info. on exploitation,
    Which I read that night in my room.
It mentioned of the unfair gap -
    Sweatshop-wages to profit-on.

I left him to visit the john,
    Which was all clad in marble stone.
Then I walked past more fortune gowns
    To lunch: four bucks - fair profit-on.
