I was in Ensenada last night for Carnaval as well. I found it to be a little too much borrachera (sp?) for me. I like Carnaval in La Paz a lot more. Its more like a fair there rather than concentrated on just drinking.

I did find a room for $285 pesos that was really decent and even within walking distance to carnaval. I ended up paying $21 for it. I'd say that was quite a deal. That is in contrast to the disgusting hotel I saw literally next door to the carnaval that was only advertising in dollars ($60) and I don't think I would have stayed in even if they paid me to stay there. Haha. Moral of the story. don't take the first hotel you see.

Yea I cross A LOT. Sometimes even 7 days a week. I'm trying to keep it down to 4 but thats not always possible. Yes I have Sentri! I think I'd die without it seeming as I have to cross so often. The Sentri line seems to be getting longer and longer everytime I cross. I feel like sometimes its even longer than the regular line...

I have never witnessed a mugging nor been mugged but one day about a month ago I was walking in a residential area with my boyfriend and we encountered a dead body (the guy was shot), but there was no one around anywhere nearby. I havn't gone for a walk since then...

My fiancee just got a job in Rosarito and we're considering moving from Tijuana (Libertad) to Rosarito. Any recommendations on any houses for rent? The craigslist ads tend to be a little sketchy...

My fiancee was working in a factory for awhile as a NURSE full time and he was only earning 1500 pesos every two weeks. Thats not even $300/month. Thank God he finally got out of that job and is now working at a hospital. A nurse earns 5000 pesos every two weeks in a hospital but jobs are scarce. So with a degree you might make max $1000 a month if you can even find the job to make the money at. When the US economy is down... the TJ economy is even worse.
