Made it swiftly down the coast to Ensanada - drove through old town to kick-start a few good memories of breaking the law there one more than onr occasion. Still nice! but the two cruise ships in the harbor and the signs screaming "VIAGRA no Rx needed" set a different tone. On the way out of town I was saddened to see Big Box Costco across the street from factory-food Applebee's which was next to the PayDay Advance "store"; Home Depot was just down the road. Let's hear a big round of applause for world-wide free-market consumerism.
Scooted about 300 miles down the coast through beautiful rolling hills and little village (and some horrific condo clubs) to sleepy El Rosario, where the highway makes the dog-leg inland. Met up with a couple Canuks for dinner and beers - we did the obligatory "you show me yours" bike ritual, hit it off, and will be off early together tomorrow. Today was a good day.
