A Day in Ensenada Mexico


The final day of the cruise was spent in Ensenada Mexico. We spent the day shopping in the little shops and exploring the city. I bought a beautiful painting in one of the shops and Maddy got one that was similar. Our husbands did the bartering and they talked the guy down to $26 for both paintings. I thought it was a good deal.

Everywhere we went people were trying to sell us something. It got annoying, so Brandon started trying to sell them a wooden dolphin that he had purchased earlier- to show them how annoying they were. When they would follow us around, he would start following them and try to sell the dolphin in Spanish. It was pretty funny. Also, a lot of people were trying to get us to come into the bars and buy drinks.

Brandon taught us how to say "no tomamos" which means we don't drink. We said that to all the bartenders that were in the street trying to sell us alcohol. Eventually we started saying it to anyone who tried to sell us anything even if it was only a bracelet. We got some pretty funny looks but they would usually laugh along with us. It was hilarious!
