I remember, as a young sailor, going into Tijuana with a bunch of buddies and never having the first thought of being robbed or assaulted.
Then as an old sailor, I went to Nuevo Laredo with my brother and our two wives.
Having the women along made me really uneasy.
About 10 years ago, as an old retired sailor, I had the chance to take my wife into Tijuana again and after about 1 hour, I was through.
Times have changed and so has the thought of 'bring it on'.
Glad I got to see and experience the good times way back when. It's a shame our grandchildren will never know 'the way it was'.
