Monday brought a much needed rest and a day to catch up. We had our yearly Mexican Connection 8 Board Meeting followed by a General Session where new officers and wagonmasters for 2015 and 2016 were chosen. The rally next year will be held in Kino Bay on the Mexican mainland, and after this rally is over the new wagonmaster will travel to Kino Bay to begin scouting out a places to stay and possible activities in the area. A Mexican Connection rally was held there years ago and we hear it is beautiful.
Tuesday was our final day in Ensenada and it was spent doing laundry and preparing to head further south on Wednesday to San Quintin. They say San Quintin is where you start to see the real Baja. Ensenada is a cruise ship destination and that has made it very touristy. The traffic is pretty bad in Ensenada and the Mexicans drive fast and recklessly. While I was waiting for the laundry to be done I took a few last pictures of our campsite and the Estero Beach Resort property. The laundry consisted of two working washers and 4 dryers that took two cycles to fully dry. But I was grateful for them! The resort had a nice pool and hot tub, as well as a nice building for us to have our meetings and Happy Hours.
In the early afternoon we went with Bob and Sharon to another large grocery store for some supplies. The store was large and very clean with many fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat. Just like Walmart, they had bins of fresh but unrefrigerated meat sitting out for you to select what you wanted. Again, very limited supply of any frozen food. You never know what you may see on the side streets of Mexico.
Tuesday evening we had a farewell dinner at a Mexican restaurant where there was much good times and cheer.
On to San Quintin!!
