Maybe that could come under the "Beach" category.

52 responses. Looks like we're losing momentum. Anyone else?

Yes, I did forget to include some categories like surfing and mountain biking. It wasn't intentional and by no means am I trying to slight those things.
As you might be able to tell the poll is somewhat unscientific and just a snap short of what Nomads may like.
Please pick your favorite and if I forgot yours use either other or adventure with a brief explanation. Thanks!
Oh ya, FISHING RULES! Ha ha...

Hey Fish ----

There wasn't a catagory for all the cultural interchange available on Miramar Street in Ensenada.
A gross oversight, Mike.

Ya Dennis, I considered including it. Somehow "Other" doesn't quite cover it although "Adventure" might be okay.
I'll definately include it in my next poll... "2nd Fvorite..." along with Ladies Bars and Brothels.

RockhouseTom had it summed up (in the least amoutn of words) for me.

Freedom to do what I want to do when/if I want to do something and everything else on the list. I don't think there is a simple, single word answer.

That's a great picture. Makes surfing look very appealing. I suck at surfing. Maybe that's why I forgot to include it.

Okay, we're up to 74 responses.
Fishing still rules(barely) with Other a close second.
Seems like alot of the Others are surfers.
What about everyone who always posts about this or that restuarant? Where are you?
Mama Espinoza's in El Roserio was probably the best halibut fillet emponizada(breaded and fried) that I ever had. Great place.
