De Nada... I Love Baja, and I love writing about the places I visit... Helps the memory of these great trips to stay fresh, too.

DK-

I asked about the sarcasm because I would have thought for sure you would have known about Carnival (Latin version of Mardi Gras) in Ensenada. From what I've been told by others is that the Ensenada version is one of the largest on the West Coast. For more info:
http://www.carnavalensenada.com/

Food was great as usual at HWH. I had a cup of tortilla soup and some ceviche with two Pacificos followed by Mexican hot chocolate. My wife had soup as well in addition to some huge sprimp tacos. My sister had soup and the Sea Bass Veracruz style. Not too sure as to how much it cost as it was my sister's treat.

Yes, I heard about carnival from Connie of the Ensenada Gazette... however, when returning north there was no signs or detours warning of the main course through town being closed... It was crazy to pour all northbound traffic into a dead end that required detouring out of.
