Loving Ensenada. Nice people, clean air, clean town, safe (even at night), great sunny weather. Two (very) white girls walk around and don't get heckled. Cheap fish market...we bought crabs and a mixture of octapus, squid, shrimp, etc., more than 2 of us could eat for $5. Lots of recent updates to the city of 300,000 including a boardwalk, park area along the water. Got here just fine from San Diego's airport...bus, trolley, walk across the border (no customs or showing of passport?), another bus to Ensenada...Carlos from the hostel was there within 5 minutes to pick us up. Cramer showed up at our hostel that evening, Matt is flying in today. We're waiting to board the ship around 4. We have 5 days at sea before Hawaii so won't be writing until we get to wherever we get to in Hawaii. Nice hostel, free kitchen, free internet. Our room had 3 sets of bunkbeds but the first night we had the room to ourselves. Last night Nina from Germany joined us. We're just a few blocks from the port and touristy area. Good job Kristen on planning this part. Hostel and town were both above expectations.
