San Diego to Ensenada, Mexico and points south
Anyone with experience driving from San Diego to Ensenada, Mexico, or even further south? I know there are terrible tales of travel thereabouts but wonder if it is mostly an urban myth.

If you choose to go to San Felipe, I have really enjoyed the food there. I love the stuffed shrimp, wrapped with bacon, covered with cheese and cooked in a little butter served at Baja Mar... hmmmm, did I forget to tell my Doctor about this stuff. :) Motels are just the basic Mexican motels, still a pretty good deal for the money, ask if the showers have hot water, that seems to be optional during the off season at some of the places. Unless you are working on your Spanish, don't plan to watch much TV. There is a government check point midway there, they are looking for drugs and guns, be polite and you will be on your way quickly. I really enjoy my visits there and look forward to my next trip to San Felipe. I have been to Tijuana, Ensenada and Tecate several times, just not what I am looking for. All of the above is just my opinion for what it is worth. JH :)
