Ensenada Mexico

 I never get tired of going to Ensenada. It's close to L.A. but yet you are in another world.

You can step outside the ship and take a round trip taxi to town for $2. They will try to get you to sign up for a shore excursion which I have done before. But I just want to walk around town and go to lunch this time. 

 My favorite place to go is El Patio. They will try to tell you it is far and you need a taxi, but really you don't. When you get to the main street you turn right and walk about 5 minutes. It will be on the right where there are a few restaurants near each other. Usually we sit on the sidewalk and eat but it's very clean and pretty inside. Great Margaritas and food is very inexpensive for a huge plate.

I buy some really cute earrings for around $10 and of course buy some vanilla. It's good to make sure you get the organic and check the expiration date. My friend bought some little kids outfits in a store for full price, she didn't even negotiate. When the owner realized he made a killing off her, he was offering free tequila shots in the back for her. I had already back pedaled out of the store. Wasn't sure what kind of straight shots I'd be getting out of the back room. lol. 


There are plenty of pharmacias or farmacias in Ensenada, so if you know what you want you can get it without a prescription. I did ask for paxlovid just in case I would need it, but they didn't sell that. It's fun buying things there and you can get some awesome deals. It's sensory overload because there is so much to see, and I find the people selling very funny!
