Days Inn Ensenada

... Bar where everyone congregated. Wendy went for a wander around the ship to get some exercise and Greg returned to the slots.<br><br>We all headed to our rooms to pack and freshen up and everyone apart from Wendy, who was running behind, made it to the evening show in the Normandie Lounge before dinner. Wendy met Jeff and Greg at the US Casino Bar for a drink just before the show finished and when ...

... Coco's was the only time this entire trip that my hairs on the back of my neck stood up. We were driving on that desolate dirt road for several miles when all of a sudden I look in my rear view mirror and there is this black pick up truck with the bottom lights flashing like it wants to pull me over. It came out of no where and I just kept driving hoping that someone would be at Coco's. When we pulled into Coco's I was relieved to see ...

... I'll post pictures soon with our latest creation with the Mexican game La Lotteria. Carlos is also a photographer and so we've had fun taking tons of photos of the Carnaval that is in town this week. It's a HUGE celebration here with parades and a weeklong fair in downtown Ensendada. We went the first night that it opened...it's basically like a state fair but with a lot more salsa dancing and so much more crowded! I thought there ...

... He planned to staytherer for a month. Why, I have no idea. The place was nice enough but completely isolated. One of the guys who run it could teach you to surf, or you could ride an ATV around, but that was about it. It was a little creepy. If someone decided they didn´t like you, it´s unlikely they´d ever find your body. But it was quiet, I had some goodfishg tacos at a stand on the main dirt drag, and slept pretty well.

... the 4 pound supermarket tent. We immediately saw problems. This was a very fair weather tent but also it was a fair weather tent for those even more vertically challenged then myself. It was also 100% not waterproof, for the campers out there it didn´t even have a flysheet. I may have to admit that when buying a tent you should do a little more research that cost. A 2 person tent does not give space for two ...

... the gray whale had become extinct through the remorseless hunting by man. Fortunately, twenty of them were sighted years later and have since been protected by the International Whaling Commission, created in 1948. Mexico, one of the sixty-six member countries of this commission, set up a gray whale sanctuary in the Ojo de Liebre lagoon in 1972 - an area that now boasts the greatest numbers of gray whales in the world. All around us in the lagoon we could see mothers with their ...

... I consider mysel fsomewhat reserved as well, but I like to converse with people with different backgrounds from time to time. It was interesting talking to this lady from Los Angeles. She was very kind. She had a major in Mathematics and minor in Computer Science from like 30 years ago! She was telling me about how things have changed so much. She had two children, and her husband had passed away two years ago, which was sad to hear, but she seemed to be fairing well. I ...

Make my world a smaller place Make every day an easy day And here, all the people that I know Are torn between water and home 100 days have gone by, there's no reason not to Cry, for all the things that we have seen All the places we have been All the things that we now know Let's bring them back to our hometowns To your home town Almost home but had to say farewell out of the country in mexico for the night. L.A. tommorrow and Home Again on the 2nd!

... I had already visited. There was also a kite display on the SP village, where kites were just attached to the ground and floated around by them selves. It looked pretty good and I wanted to take my Poi with me over there as I thought the colors would look pretty fantastic too. Coronado is a little peninsular type bit of San Diego that is joined by going over a massive bridge or on the ferry. At one end is a massive ...

... and I made our way to the 'Trolley' stop. The 'Trolley' is in fact just a little train that goes on a couple of routes round San Diego and just to the border of Mexico, back and forth - quite good for me who wasn't keen on public transport yet - can't really get lost if it goes back to where it came from! We had decided to go to Ocean Beach as it was meant to be nice, and met a guy at the Trolley stop called Rick from Canada who was there on ...
