About Me
- lynn deweese-parkinson
- I am a bookseller with about 20 years experience, having taken up the trade after retiring as a trial lawyer. I deal exclusively in books on Mexico & bullfighting. I am sole proprietor of my shop in Playas de Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I am also the list owner for The Bibliophile Mailing List, an email discussion list of book dealers, collectors, librarians, & others interested in the book trade. My unfulfilled ambitions are first, to play violin with such artistry as to make a Spanish Gypsy cry and second, to survive with grace in the arena with a full grown toro bravo.

is this one of the beaches you guys cleaned?
if so....terrific!
Yes, actually the only beach we helped clean. But it requires recleaning every day and an intensive recleaning every week with the city administration's help.
The amount of trash left on a nice weekend is truly amazing. And here most weekends are nice. Then there is the clandestine dumping of construction trash, the source of most of the styrofoam on the beach, even more than fast food.
There are a lot of folks helping to keep the beach clean but the pressure is great. It is nearly the only recreational area for an urban population of around 2 million plus a lot of tourists. There are some parks but the United Nations recommends 10% of urban area in greenspaces while Tijuana has about 1%.
