Ensenada, our first night in Mexico


On our way to Ensenada we took the toll road, which is four lanes and runs along the coast south from Tijuana. It cost us 270 pesos (about $22 US) in tolls, but worth it to save time and traffic. At the end of the toll road we stopped on the beach for a stretch and a soda. There were souvenir stands, snacks, and horses for rent to ride along the sand. Next, a drive through Ensenada to our overnight destination.
Estero Beach is an elegant hotel, restaurant and RV Park on the bay in Ensenada. Our campsites lined the bay, and we watched the sun set over the water as we went to our welcome to Mexico dinner in the restaurant. We started off with a Margarita (what else?) then graduated to entrees of carne asada, grilled fish, or Nancy’s pick, the Estero Beach combination platter. Great to sit down in a relaxed atmosphere with our Fantasy fellow travelers and get better acquainted. 
 What a great spot for a walk along the beach at sunset, listening to the surf and watching the birds.
