Now for help with Spanish;

At the border I am asked by non-English speaking officers (why do they have them there?) as "where are you going?".

Can you provide a simple answer like--I am going fishing for a week at Gonzaga Bay.


Thanks Amigo.

There's 2 main questions you will be asked at any checkpoint in mex....

A donde vas? (or a donde va usted) = where are you going?
Voy/Vamos a bahia gonzaga para pescar por una semana.

De donde vienes? (de donde viene usted) = where did you come from?
Somos (we are)/ venimos (we came) de ___________.

Great.

How about;

I am with a group and going to Gonzaga Bay for a week of fishing.


I am coming back from Gonzaga Bay after a week of fishing and going to Mexicali.
