Wednesday morning, we were up bright and early, had breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Menu for breakfast just as funny as the dinner one. I had scrambled eggs with Mexican sausage. Tastes great, just don't think too much about what might be in the sausage. Off we went back toward Ensenada, crossing Baja again from east to west. I've thrown in some more photos of Baja, it's just so amazingly wild and beautiful. There are only 450K people on the whole peninsula, compare that with 35 million in California. So much open space, unspoiled vistas, wide open beaches. It was a great trip, and I know we'll spend more time there in the future.

We had lunch at the same great little taco stand right along the main drag by the harbor that we'd enjoyed on the way down two weeks before. Then we walked around the tourist shops for a while, and finished up our souvenir shopping. Just north of Ensenada, we parted from highway 1 to take highway 3 back thru the wine country to Texate. When we got to the border around 4PM, there was only one vehicle in front of us. We answered a couple of questions, showed the INS agent our passports, and didn't even have to get out of the car. It was a breeze. MUCH better than going thru Tijuana!

The drive from Texate to San Diego is around an hour, no big deal, since you'd spend that long in the line at the border in TJ. Spent the nite at the Good Nite Inn in San Diego, 10 minutes from the airport and across the street from Denny's, as we needed to drop Anne and Keith off at the airport at 7AM.
