Ensenada ideas
I cant believe I got talked into doing this but...
I am going on the Catalina/Ensenada booze cruise next week with 4 women.
We have a house in Rosarito so I am comfortable in Mexico and have limited Spanish skills (I can understand way more than I can speak)
So.. what should four women do when we have from 9:00 am till about 4pm in Ensenada. My husband would rather us not just hang out in a bar! Anyone
know anything about the Santo Thomas Winery in Ensenada?? Not interested in going La Bufedora as we do that as a day trip every once in a while.
I know some of you Nomads are based in Ensenada so share your ideas.
I figure in the worse case scenero we can always go to Los Rosas and do SPA stuff and lunch, but I am not sure that is what I want to do.
THanks for any advice

There's this guy by the name of Dennis here at the chat. 555-1833 call him. He serves Uganda meals and entertains wildly for clients in Ensenada 
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Welllll...Let's see.....There's a fairly new Art Museum near the ship terminal......or you could walk along the Malecon, you know...by the water and
boats...that's kinda nice. Try the fish market at the far end of that stroll, but don't buy anything.
From the fish market, after about 11:00, Hussongs is open. That's only a couple of blocks away. Go in there and hammer down a few, then walk up to
Sixth Street and turn south for I think one block and you'll be at Sto. Tomas Winery. Hammer down a couple of bottles of vino and wander back towards
the Tourist Zone and buy some trinkets. Stop in at Denny's Bar and toss back one or two, but don't go in the bathroom. Save that for the Bahia where
you can hammer down a few more and relieve yourselves before you go back to the ship for c-cktails.
Bon Voyage.

That sounds MUCH better than just hanging around a bar!

Well..it's Ensenada. What can one expect?
The city is planning on putting in some Bumper Cars, but they're arguing with the state and the feds over the mordida concession.

Dennis said Hussong's is open at 11:00
I should have thought- Nomads would likely give me the bars to stop at
Any advice for anything besides bars
And why the do not by anything at the fish market warning??
I use to eat the clam ceviche there year ago. Have things changed?

I walked through the fish market in July, and I wanted to stay, but the Mrs. doesn't like Fish Tacos. I really want to go back for some Mariscos.
There is a movie theatre just opposite the Fish Market inside of the new Mall that was constructed near the Malecon. Maybe, you could catch a nice
foreign film while you are there.

It's not the best place in town to buy fish. Besides, do you want to carry around a sack of fish to all those fun spots? Pretty soon, you'll have
about fifty cats following you.
Another thing....the fish market, called the Mercado Negro, has the worst fish tacos in the world.
I have no opinion on the Ceviche.

This looks like a winner!
From his jail cell at Chihuahua's Military Hospital, Hidalgo begins to remember moments of his life, particularly his tenure as Parish Priest in the
town of San Felipe where he translated and produced the stage play "Tartuffe" by Moliere. During this time he fell in love with Josefa Quintana with
whom he had three children and for whom he left the priesthood during a brief period in his life.

Looks as though this flik is a Mexican production, given the origen of the director, Antonio Serrano.

Watching a Mexican made movie in Mexico disqualifies it for the title, Foriegn Film....I think.

For a great meal along the waterfront, try the Muelle Tres. Great food, friendly staff.

Hire a Taxi and Go to El Taco de Huitzilopochtli
Tooting my own horn very softly, here's what I say about it in my Ensenada Eats listing
"For 32 years El T de H has been serving its mouthwatering mixiote, a unique Texcoco-style dish of lamb wrapped in maguey leaves and cooked for 16
hours in mesquite-fired ovens. Other dishes include tlacoyos (thick, stuffed tortillas in green chili sauce), romeritos (nopal cactus, potatoes and
shrimp in a bowl of chocolaty, spicy mole) and huauzontles (a stuffed and battered broccoli-like vegetable in red sauce). Fri-Sun, 8a-4p;
646-174-2381"

When I was in Colombia, I saw "The Accordion Angel". What I would pay to see that film again here in the United States.
