On that particular day, we went through fog heavy and wet enough we consistantly used our wipers. It was beautiful to see the desert color pop out even more. The vegetation was drinking in the moisture from the air. Monsoon-type weather is always great relief in any desert, especially hot deserts.......
One of the farm towns we went through had the most beautiful trees I've ever seen!
The Pacific Coast!
There were fish farms out on the water...........
Ensenada is where we completed our tourist shopping. Who could resist when you walk down the street of the famous "La Bufadora." Plus, it was literally the tail-end of the trip where we could use up the rest of our pesos. I remember coming here in high school with my friends family. Brought back some memories.
La Bufadora is a marine geyser, or blowhole, located on the Punta Banda Peninsula. The spout of sea water is the result of air, trapped in a sea cave, exploding upwards. It makes a great crashing noise on the rocks when the pressure is high.......
What's better than yoga after a long days drive?
;)
Our hotel was in the heart of Ensenada. The Baja 500 (off-road racing) was also happening that weekend. So, the place was packed with crowds and quite frankly we were lucky to get a room with a secure parking lot. We walked around the streets and explored.......
The next day, it was a short drive back on American soil.........
I took this next picture because you can see the Border fenceline paralleling the highway........
Ahhhhh Mexico, thanks for the many wonderful memories. Until we return again................
