Ensenada/Tacate


We woke up to, guess again, a sunny day in Ensenada. After a small breakfast, we took a stroll along the harbor. Ensenada hasn't changed very much since I was there in 2001, still looking like it's under construction. However, there's a lot of partying. The main street of Paseo Calle Primera/Blvd. Lopez Mateos was vibrant during the day, much more compared to last night. The restaurants are filled with people drinking Margaritas and jamming to obnoxiously loud music. For lunch, we (I) had a beer with $1 fish tacos and then decided that life is perfect. :)

We drove about one hour north on scenic Rt. 3 toward Tecate. Along the way, we visited the L.A. Cetto vineyard. We took a tour and tasted wine. I bought two bottles of reds and a bottle of olive oil...how I plan to transport them to DC, I don't know.

Tecate is a quaint little town. As we walked around the city's park, we spotted some locals playing Domino. Surprise, surprise, I made friends with them and played Domino. I lost miserably but what a fun way to spend an afternoon!

Back in San Diego again. Amy and I have been reminiscing about Mexico nonstop, recalling every funny moment. It was very special to spend quality time with my friend of 18 years.
