We are resting here in our motel room, in the south end of Ensenada. Our day started very early, having to make a trip to Escondido, California in order to meet up with the UPS man to get the last of the freight that needed to go to La Paz. then it was off to San Diego, to hit Downwind Marine to pick up mail that needs to get to la Paz, then to a shop called Mail Call in order to get mail from them as well. The it was off to San Diego Marine exchange to get yet more supplies for Mexican cruisers. After that we drove to the West Marine on Rosecrans to get our last pick that was to go south. Pick up a little bit of food stuff for our personal use, top off the gas tank and make our run for the border.

The crossing was really quite easy, about 30 minutes in line, we got the green light, and headed for the road......just in time to be waved down for a quick inspection. We were well ahead of the game when we pulled out all of the paperwork (TIP's and sale reciepts) that they asked about. I think they were a bit over whelmed. They opened the back of the canopy, checked a few boxes from the top of the stack, and sent us on our way.

We took the scenic route from Tijuana to Ensenada, along the coast, which took a little over an hour to complete. Once we arrived in Ensenada, we were reminded that it was Carnival weekend. There for the entire down town area was completely closed!! Jeanne went to work with her maps and found a way around the blocked streets, and made to to our hotel with no problem!

We are pretty tired, so the balance of the trip will be done at a much slower, easy pace. Ww place on making a few stops to "Smell the cactus" so to speak.

we will try to post a few pictures as we get the chance .
