31 Aug-3 Sep
The beautiful, touristic city Ensenada, located at the northwest coast of Mexico, hosts us after the ocean journey. I could not imagine a better place to rest, relax and enjoy hollidays with a sailing boat. The port is well protected with a huge mexican flag arising 60 meters above the ground. The people of the Marina were friendly and provided the boat a place in very good price. The city has about 500.000 people, situated in the state of Baja California near the US-mexican borders as well as near many touristic places. The weather is calm, the food is delicious comprising of fresh fish, pollo (chicken) and tortillas and the prices are convenient (the most expensive of them being about half the european ones).
The first place we visited after the immigrant offices was "Casa de la Cultura" where we were informed that a one-week festival is taking place at this time. So, on Tuesday we visited the "Theatro de la Ciudad" to watch a modern ballet show. The people at the reception told us there was no seat left but when they saw we were friends coming from Greece they provided us with spare tickets for free! The show was fantastic, 2 hours full of ballet choreography with some modern and ancient mexican influences, with 2o dancers in 5 episodes. It wan no different than the great productions of the european cities. That as well as their behavior puts Mexico among the most civilized countries of the world.
As for myself, I attend some "Folclor Danza", the first one originated from the center of Mexico. The school team is going to perform in Guadalachara this December, I suppose I will not follow them... No need to say we are the only foreigners coming so close to the local people. Is there a better feeling?
