Los Globos: Best Open Air Markets and Second Hand Stores in Ensenada
Los Globos is a 12 square block section of mostly open air market stalls in the middle of Ensenada. You can find everything there, like super fresh produce at unbelievably cheap prices, fresh meat, ice cream, tents, old keyboards, antique wood-burning stoves, vintage rocking horses, entire bedroom sets for $120 and pretty much any kind […]

27 August 2012
As I was sipping my mocha up on Calle Primera, I was approached by two cute little Chiclet sales girls, about six and eight years old. I gave them my standard, “Gracias, pero no (no thank you),” with a halfass decent accent that usually works. The small one, with a firm, determined look on her […]

26 August 2012
Who the heck is Alejandro Fernández? Apparently he’s one of the biggest pop stars in Mexico. And he came to do a concert in Ensenada. Cool. We’ve been seeing huge banners and concert posters for him all over town. Then, big trucks started rolling in and they set up an enormous stage right next […]

One of the things I love about cruising and traveling in another country is discovering new ways of doing things with otherwise familiar food. The other night, we went on a taco walk to a nearby seafood place. Which was closed. So far, in Mexico, there is little rhyme or reason that I can determine, […]

20 August 2012
We are really lucky that Ensenada is crazy for festivals, especially food related ones. So far this summer we’ve had a festivals for Blues music, cheese and wine, Chinese food, mushrooms, books and lectures, Mexican culture, and a couple more that escape my memory at the moment. This weekend they had a Taco and Beer […]

19 August 2012
Last week, Friday afternoon, we kind of ended up in the wrong neighborhood. It’s happened before, but not like this. We came around the corner and there was a really cheap hotel with a line of stunning hookers out front. They were nice. Tamiko smiled at them and they smiled back and we walked on about our […]

15 August 2012
Yesterday we realized we were out of just about everything, so we hightailed it up to the green Super Soriana. Soriana is a chain of grocery stores in Mexico and the green super is our favorite. So far as we can tell, they’ve got green ones, red ones, mini ones, regular ones, and the supers. […]

11 August 2012
Apparently Mexico beat Brazil in the Olympic soccer final and won the gold. I had no idea until I pedaled out for coffee this morning. The whole waterfront and gringo shopping district (shopping for gringos, not shopping for gringos) was filled with Mexicanos locos screaming VIVA MEXICO! from cars, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles or anything else, all […]

6 August 2012
Every time we walk around town, the many differences between Mexico and the United States strike me anew. People are kind here. Old people are treated with respect. You step out of their way and wait patiently, everyone does, it’s understood that they are doing their best. Cars, all cars, stop for you so you […]

Hurricane Fabio may be spinning itself into dissipation but it’s not going down without a fight. Walking back from the dentist’s office last night we were treated to an epic, knock down drag out battle between Fabio and the setting sun.
