Ensenada Cruise
	For my daughters graduation from high school in 2005 we took a cruise to Ensenada Mexico. The trip left from Long Beach which is the current berth for the Queen Mary. What an opulent way to travel.
	Well, a little more pedestrian mode of transportation awaited us. Still a really big boat but not even in the same class as the old gal.
	A little lighthouse on Catalina Island where we put in for a few hours.
	The Catalina Casio has some cool Art Deco murals.
	This is what happens when you hand a random tourist a high end digital camera and ask them to take a quick family picture. Oh well, at least Arron was in focus...
	On the island only golf carts are allowed for basic transportation. The golf cart tow truck had me rolling in the street laughing.
	Old generator we saw on a day hike. We hiked from the port most of the way up the hill until we were stopped by private property.
	We've made it to Ensenada and took a day trip to visit one of the landmarks. This time I picked a tourist with an expensive camera, it seems like a better bet. We are standing on the observation platform overlooking La Bufadora which is an awesome blow hole shooting water 50-100 feet in the air when the waves hit the shore.
	The color of the water is incredible.
	Rainbows in the spray.
	More rainbow.
	The Mexican flag in the port city. Arron I took a hike over to the flag after we had finished site seeing for the day.
	That is one huge flag! The flag pole is 337 feet tall, the flag measures 124 feet by 164 feet. It requires a garrison to raise and lower. If you look close at the base of the pole you can see a minute figure. The next photo shows just the bottom section of the pole.
	Now we can see the figure is Arron who was nearly six feet tall at the time. I'm am still blown away by the size of the flag. The locals just shrug and say "You should see the one at the Capitol"!
