Defined Limit

Turn to your left and look south along the Pacific shore at California's Border Field State Park, and this is what you'll see. This is a panorama of the border fence--the same border fence I'd seen back in the Algodones Dunes--where it finally comes to an end and winds up trying to fence off water. This is as far as they could draw their imaginary line. This is the corner where America ends.

 

Beyond that fence is Tijuana, the large city of 1.6 million people in the Mexican state of Baja California. At the top of the hill on the left, there's the Plaza de Toros Monumental de Tijuana, a bull fighting ring built in 1960 that still holds bull fights. A lighthouse stands next to that. From there lining the beach south as far as a person could see if there wasn't that fence is a seemingly endless series of beach condo houses.
