Ensenada

We woke up early and had a lazy start to the day.  Maggie checked, on her magical ereader, her email to see if we had any accepted couch requests for Ensenada and luckily three had accepted.  We rode to find some wi-fi and coffee just a little ways along the road and up a hill.  We replied to one guy that had a private beach and beds for all of us.  That sounded great.  We finished our fish taco breakfast and started riding again. The road took us slightly inland which meant we had a mountain range to climb over.  It was a hot and tiring 10km ride over the hills but nearing the end had a few great views.  Going through some construction the road became of questionable quality but luckily it was on the approx. 10km decent.
At the bottom of the hill we ate more fish tacos in San Miguel for lunch then carried onto Ensenada.
Ensenada was amazing.  We sat down at a bar called Papas and Beer (fries and beer) and asked after Rocky, a fellow we had met briefly in Rosarito and while we sat and talked to him, person after person walked by and greeted us, recognized us, sat and talked to us.  We felt like celebrities! Someone walked by and invited us to stay with him.  His name is David and he is from Italy, doing his post-doc in astronomy here and using the observatory in the desert to look for exo-planets (planets in other solar systems).
The sunset was just too incredible, so here it is.  I've never seen anything like it, and the picture doesn't do it justice, but anyways.
