Vincente Guerrero, then on to Ensenada

The Posada Don Diego RV Park is in Vincente Guerrero, about 20 KM north of San Quintin, on the Pacific Ocean side of Baja. Nice sized campsites, quiet, with water and electric. Sewer is iffy. Great restaurant. Owned by an interesting lady who is an American expatriate of 30 years. We had a long drive from Bahia De Los Angeles, took nearly 8 hours, so all were ready to relax and unwind over a cervesa. 

Tomorrow, back to Estero Beach, Ensenada. We stayed here on our way down, and it's a nice quiet spot on the Ensenada Bay, secure, with full hookups. Hooray! Everyone gets a shower! 

Had our goodbye to Mexico dinner here, Margaritas for all. We've eaten a bazillion fish tacos, tried lots of cervesa, and had lots of beach time. But, before we go, we have a tour of Ensenada. First, we found a wash crew to clean our filthy rigs, covered with dust from our drive. Nancy and I negotiated a wash and wax of the Montaj and the car, both for $350. That's pesos, guys, so about $28. While they washed, we toured. First, to the Convention Center. This was originally a casino, from the '30s. Beautiful. Abandoned for years in the 60's, it is now restored.

On the way to the casino, we pass Ensenada's Mexican flag, which is on a 250' pole. The flag measures 25 meters by 50 meters!

The ceilings of the casino were painted by an artist called Martinez, who is nicknamed the Michelangelo of Ensenada, as he painted for 18 months on his back.

The building was full of beautiful woodwork and tile work. It is now used for festivals, meetings, and Quinceanera parties. Next, on to downtown where we spent some time doing our last minute shopping...

Then we stopped by the panaderia for some more sweet breads, and headed for La Bufadora. That's a blow hole where the wave action and tide action causes a spout of water spray to go high in the air. Interesting, but it was a chilly day and we were glad to get into the restaurant there for a hot meal.

By the time we returned to Estero Beach RV Park, it was raining and blowing. This is the same storm that is going thru the midwest right now (Feb 23) and it was a cold wet blow that raised whitecaps on the bay. At sunset, it looked like it was going to clear up.

But, we were premature thinking it was gonna clear up the next day. In this case, red sky at night was not a precursor to a sunny day tomorrow. We had heavy rain all night, and the wind rocked the coach. By dawn, the rain had stopped but the streets were muddy and our wash job was wasted.
