well, here i am again, in beautiful ensenada. looks as though we are going to stay until hurricane season is over....after september anyway. we are in the process of buying a car from some fellow cruisers that are planning on leaving in a few weeks to a month. they are heading south and hope to land in chile eventually. that's a long cruise, but like us, they have time and can see some really different and beautiful places along the way. we wish them fair winds and following seas. they are Bob and Jean from "Flewzy Coup". the car is a Ford Contour, 1996.
We will now be able to go places and do things more often and not have to rely on friends with vehicles or take the bus or a cab, altho, there will be times we will still need the local mode of transportation. Like happy hour nights in town!!

it is Carnivale time here and the town is packed with people celebrating. Singing and dancing in the streets, very much the same as Mardi Gras. i think we will be going in tomorrow for the parade and saturday night festivities. should be lots of fun.

We have some new neighbors on D Dock. They are Mark and Emily on the s/v Groovy. She just had a birthday and we helped her celebrate it with Beth and Gary from the s/v Fun in the Sun on Wednesday. had a few beers, a shot of Don Peron tequila and some good snacks. was quite enjoyable and didn't have to walk far to get back home. Speaking of birthday's, i have to wish my very good friend LORI a great happy birthday and wish i had been there to help her celebrate another year. i haven't missed one for a long time, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LORI.

We did go into TJ's for Super Bowl and had a really fun time. and of course, the best team won!!! We aren't big football fans but we had to root for someone, so we picked the underdog. Who knew.? After the game ended we walked over to La Vendemia, which has happy hour for cruisers on thursday night, to see if we won anything in the superbowl pools, but of course, we didn't. had a couple of margaritas there, then went home. super day, superbowl!

can't think of much more that's interesting from this point of view, cept that the weather is getting warmer and the sun is lasting longer in the day. that's the way i like it, uh huh, uh huh.
so with that i'll close with the normal "i love and miss you all. hasta luego mi amigos
