Halloween in Mexico

Halloween itself does not seem to be a bit deal here.  Some of the staff here wore face paing and we saw 1 little guy with a pumpkin costume on during the evening but that is all.

We arrived in Rosarito Beach on Friday afternoon via a really nice taxi driver that brought us from Tijuana.  I had visited my own wonderful dentista - Dr. Ruth - she had to extract (do destruction - in her terms :) ) 3 teeth - so I wasn't really up for taking the bus down.  As always - the staff here at the Rosarito Beach Hotel are wonderful, nice, polite, and helpful.  We have visited here several times before - and have always really enjoyed ourselves - so - we looked forward to another great time.

We have now tried all 3 of their 'room' styles.  Oceanfront, garden view, and suite.  This trip we are in their 1 bedroom suite!  and it is complete with a well appointed kitchenette!  Many int the US could take a real lesson here.  We have a full size coffepot, blender, toaster, MATCHING dishes, dish soap and towels, salt - pepper - coffee - and drinking water - all right here all easily found.  The room also has the usual small fridge and microwave.  We have a great ocean view - right over the lower beachfront studios roof.  Makes for a really sweet place to sit in the sun and enjoy the morning coffee! The sunset was really beautiful out over the Pacific Ocean.

Unfortunately is has been a bit on the windy side for the last couple of days so the pools and hot tubs were not anything I wanted to brave - but Keith did go for a soak and was all smiles when he reported back to me that it 'was wonderful'!!

There was entertainment last night with dinner.  Our server, Manuel, kept us in peanuts, tacos, and chips (with guacomole!) while we divided out attentions between the big screen showing the World Series and the entertainment!  I thoroughly enjoyed watching Efrain Precsado and his great quartet of Our bartender Manuel kept in peanuts, tacos, and shrimp coctail while we divided out attentions between the dancers and the big screen tv showing the World Series!dancers.  The costumes and the verve of the dancers showed that they were enjoying themselves also!  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dianeb/sets/72157622584744251/show/
The pictures aren't even close to doing justice to these dancers - but I loved watching them!
