Enseneda, Mexico - December 23, 2009
A really great day today - sunny and much warmer. I went outside a few times and sat on the beach.

The beach here is made from round stones. I am not sure if that's the stones or the water, but the combination of both makes a really pleasant sound when the water flows back to the ocean after hitting the shore, sort of like a drumming - rattling noise. Sitting there on the pebbles, with bigger waves you can feel the ground trembling, like a small earthquake.

I went a little further and found a cool spot from which I was able to take a few shots of some rocks - quite an impact ! It was a good day.

Enseneda, Mexico - December 22, 2009
I arrived in Ensenada a couple days ago. The first day seemed already warmer - I was moving South after all. But the next day... freezing ! I thought I was back in Canada ! The temperature wasn't that low, but right by the ocean with strong winds it felt really cold.
I also had food poisoning from tacos in Tijuana and it made things worse. I was still doing better than my previous host who was throwing up. With the help of my old friend, medicine called Buscapina, I got myself in better shape soon.
My host in Ensenada, Fabricio, is a great easy going guy. He just opened a restaurant and treated me for food and beer. A great welcome and thank you ! :)

Playas de Tijuana, Mexico - December 20, 2009
I am at the Starbucks for a morning coffee. It was a bit gloomy at around 9 am, but the sun is out again.
Yesterday I did some more research as to where will I go next and tried to get the next couch. I wrote a few people, and on this short notice I managed to get one right away ! So I know where I will be sleeping tonight.
It takes about one hour from Tijuana to Ensenada, which is South. I think I will be able to sleep for three nights there, and hopefully get another place for three nights more. Then, I think, I will take the bus to San Felipe, which is on the East side of the Baja Califronia and a bit further South. It is supposed to be warmer and with lots of seafood to choose from. I also heard that I will be able to pick my own clams from the ocean. I used to do it in Japan and I am looking forward to it.
Before I go I will take another walk on the beach. I should be doing it more often, but then I will do it in Ensenada and San Felipe. I enjoy just sitting outside and resting - you can't do it in Canada now ! And also need time to do this blog and work on the photos, so it's perfect.
I am looking at the graphic at the top of my blog and I realize that I am not relating to it the same way as I was just a week ago. I was freezing and miserable and it freaks me out a little now that I am in warmer weather. I like it, and it is interesting to see how weather and surroundings can affect a person's mind. I will have to change it to something else.
My life has always been about freedom and I shall continue to walk this path.
Safe travels ! ........... Stan
