On the second floor of this place was a large hole in the floor surrounding the poll and you had to throw yourself onto the thing, hold on and ride it
down to the first floor...what a blast! |
Yeah...I remember that. Don't recall the name of the place but it's right off Lopez Mateos next to a popular fish restaurant, across the street from
what is now Bamboo Garden, the best Chinese restaurant this side of Mexicali.
It's either that or I'm having some kind of wierd flashback.

There are only a few things in this world that interest me. Fishing is one of them...

Hmmm, let's see. Okay, what I garner from the advice so far is:
1) Stay away from fishbuck.
2) Keep my daughter away from fishbuck.
3) Take a boat ride around the harbour.
4) Smoke a cigar (no problem there).
5) Eat food, on or off the ship.
6) Drink alcohol.
7) Stroll the malecon.
8) Find a place where I can ride a pole....
9) And stay away from fishbuck. Oh, did I say that one?

Hey, that's not nice.
I was just trying to help.
And what days does you daughter work at Anthony's? I might need to check her out.

Yeah sure, check her out at Anthony's. She works weekends there to earn extra money. Her name is Bubba. Don't be put off by the name, it's just her
stage name. Remember to tip her well.
Appreciate the advice everyone! I will post back with details on how we ended up spending the day. Glad it's a Wednesday, my daughter won't have to
work at Anthony's.

Update:
So my daughter and I disembarked Carnival Cruise Line's ship, the M.S. Paradise, mid-morning. We walked along the dock directly to the malecon area,
to stand right at the huge Mexican flag seen from about everywhere in the city. It was really a short walk.
There were several cute shops, with very good prices. There was not even a need to negotiate, they wanted to sell their wares and had fair prices.
We walked along the malecon and came to a well-marked ramp to some touristy boats. Before we could even read their signs, we were approached and
asked if we wanted a boat tour of the harbour. We paid $25 for two of us for a 40-minute tour.
It was pretty interesting, with a highlight being the barking sea lions' echo from underneath concrete areas that meet the ocean water where they have
taken up residence.
A short walk brought us to the shopping district, where we contributed to the economy and purchased some cute gifts.
We walked over to Hussong's and had a margarita. I was hoping this young artist, who had drawn my and two others portraits three years ago, would be
present. He wasn't at first, but after awhile he came in as if he sensed it was time. I had him draw my daughter, and he again did a terrific,
highly talented job for a mere $20.
We were talking about leaving, and suddenly the bartender brought us another round of margaritas and said it was a two for one special. He had not
mentioned that previously, so we were surprised. They were small, but tasty. The two for one special brought the price down to where it should have
been to begin with.
Next, we took a cab the 1.5 mile to the vegetarian restaurant mentioned above, and had a terrific meal. The cab was $5. The driver wanted to wait
for us, but I did not want him to wait for just a $5 fare. He kept insisting, but we finally promised to call and ask for him specifically. He did
return immediately, and charged $5 to return to the ship. They are really hurting, and grateful for business. The boom days are over.
The food was absolutely delicious, and inexpensive. We had a squash soup that was good to the last drop, followed by breaded, fried creamy cheese
with sauces and a salad. Everything we ordered was delicious and I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. It wasn't fancy inside, just
your typical Mexican eatery, but well worth the trek. I believe the name is Senor Salud. Boy, do the ever know how to cook food!!!!
So, we didn't do anything all that spectacular. But we had a very pleasant, relaxing day. The highlight will forever remain the portrait, because it
is so well done and very special.
Oh, across the street from Hussong's we could hear the whistles blowing at Papas and Beer. It just wasn't appealing on such a beautiful, relaxing,
kick-back day.
So, there you have it. A Wednesday in sleepy Ensenada. I hope this gives other cruisers some ideas of activities.

Fishbuck---I'm bustin a gut here! You need to find a nice girl and not have to pay for it my friend......
I'm glad you had a good time and didn't go to La Buff.
San Carlos now has cabins you can rent for as long as you want and they are pretty decent. (My brother in law built them).

Georock,
Glad you had a good time. Sorry we missed you, our timing for being back in Punta Banda was off just a bit.
