So we are in Ensenada! A direct bus ride yesterday from Tecate proved not possible. After the bus was delayed about a half hour, the bus driver was adament that there was no room for us and our bicycles. BUT, there was a bus that left in 5 minutes for Tijuana where we could make a quick connection to a bus that leaves every half hour to Ensenada. It left us with few choices. So, off we go to Tijuana. The bumpy road wasn't so kind on our full bladders because in the hurry and confusion we didn't get a chance to head to the bathroom. Anyways, we arrived safe and sound in TJ. It really didn't feel overly dangerous at all. Just a very large, expansive, hustle and bustle Mexican metropolis really. We loaded up our bikes on the bus to Ensenada and went to a nearby bakery to get some food. The ride to Ensenada was beautiful..right along the coast. Just a little taste of the scenery we will be seeing for the next month.
In Ensenada, we arrived at our hostel and upon describing our trip, we quickly learned that there would be some major obstacles. Some crazy rains this past week caused some bridges to be washed out. Check out the link for more info.

A frenchman that really needed to pass from south to north ended up paying for a plane shuttle to get over the washed out bridge..
So, we've decided to stay in Ensenada for another night to wait it out. After trying to find some nightlife last night, we realised that Monday nights is the slowest night of the week here and it was apparent. We ended up watching Sherlock Holmes at the theatre..great movie we both thought. Tonight is supposed to be a little more lively, so we're looking forward to that.
Going with the flow! unless its flooding and takes out bridges :(
