Last Thursday Gene and Magda and I went shopping.

Much of the merchandise arrives from your yard sale via trucks loaded beyond belief. This one was almost unpacked when we arrived:

Natalie Ann those are terrific, as usual. You are a wonderful photographer and I love your subjects. I have a fish market fetish and those photos
sure fed it. I love that particular fish market, have been going there almost since it opened, for about 40 years. Thanks again, ++Ken++Diver - 3-18-2007 at 06:36 PM
Those are some seriously large camarones !!
Thanks for taking us along !Bajagypsy - 3-18-2007 at 06:49 PM
So wish I could have gone shoping with you. Thank you for the wonderful pictures.Natalie Ann - 3-18-2007 at 06:55 PM
Thank you so much Ken and Diver and Gypsy.
This fish market is my favorite shopping places. Comida is always outstanding after shopping there!
I have come to look forward to Thursdays at Los Globos, a place of many diamonds among the rough. Over several visits I have found real bargains -
beautiful leather purses and billfolds, a super fantastic large mirror with hand-carved frame, and that machete of which HoseA wrote in an earlier
post. On one side of the machete is emblazoned a desert scene, on the other are words to the effect - This is a dangerous object. If you hurt
yourself or someone else, don't blame me.

We just finished the last of our scallops purchased there. Delicious. The colors, sights and sounds. What a great place. Such abundance!
So many choices there.
Great pics, like being there again. Thanks.
Which size camerones did you like the best?
IflyfishNatalie Ann - 3-19-2007 at 04:26 PM
Iflyfish - This time I found the medium-sized camarones to be the most sweet, although Gene and Magda did not have a preference. The smallest ones
are real sweet and juicy - perfect for ceviche, one of my favorite dishes.
Tonight we'll have the fish - curvina, I believe. Gonna bake it in foil with veges.... and I can hardly wait for dinner.
I'll be the Ensenada correspondent for for another month or so... then who knows?!

Natalie,
Is that fish market in the complex on the right after you turn right as you enter Ensenada? Are you going to be a permanent correspondent in
Ensenada now?
Thanks for posting the pictures of all the seafood and fish. Shrimp cevice is great as is scallop.
Kentripledigitken - 3-19-2007 at 04:58 PM
Thanks,
That was where I thought it was. Except he keeps moving the flag.
Just kidding I know exactly where you mean.

Look up, Ken. Look waaaaay up. Natalie Ann - 3-19-2007 at 05:20 PM
Ah Ken... I see that by trying to delete my redundant post, I've now answered your question before it was asked. The Ensenada correspondent is now
going to stop posting and return to her tequila.

And while you're there, try some of the small local restaurants. Excellent fish tacos, but if you're hungry, some more complete dishes as well. Then
take in a movie---the theatres are small, comfortable, and show first-run movies, usually in English with Spanish subtitles. Great opportunity to stay
current with US culture (sic) and more importantly, learn Spanish. Best bet: pick a really crummy movie, go for the langauge lesson.bbbait - 3-20-2007 at 03:19 AM
I get dizzy when I look up at the big flag on the malecon. But I'm sure the Caliente or El Pescador didn't have anything to do with it. Fun
pictures, thank you for the memories!bajaguy - 3-20-2007 at 06:19 AM
I have found the best way to look at that flag is to get a cold Pacifico, drink it, then lay on your back at the base of the pole....puts everything
in perspective...bajamigo - 3-21-2007 at 08:16 PM
And you don't look out of place!BornFisher - 3-21-2007 at 10:20 PM
All I can say is "thanks for taking me to the fish market".
Bajamigo--- Great thought on taking in a movie there. I remember the movies we would see down in San Blas about 45 years ago. Just 4 walls, bring your
own booze and rock to sit on and go with the flow!!windgrrl - 3-22-2007 at 07:31 PM
Now that trip was fun Natalie Ann, even for a vegetariana!Tomas Tierra - 3-22-2007 at 11:16 PM
They changed the name of the fish market?????
Used to say "Mercado Negro" on the side of the building..
