What about Ensenada, nadin?
For newer members unfamiliar with the back-story, it's based upon this:

Ok this was embarrasing
We are working on a story involving native people in Mexico. So I needed to send an Email to proceso, one of the top political magazines. It took me literally ten minutes to compose an email in Spanish... my native tongue.
So, the obvious thing is I NEED PRACTICE... damn I really do. So converted my IPOD to a Spanish computer and started plotting a short piece of fiction that will be done in Spanish. It will take me longer than English, but damn I need the practice. That was well, very embarrassing.
Ten minutes. Damn!
And that story better NOT involve going down to Ensenada, there are way too many personal safety concerns on that one.
Curious as to why the cousin was reluctant to go down to Ensenada--barely an hour out of San Diego--I wrote (snail mail) their local chamber of commerce, seeking insight.
They sent me a whole lot of tourist brochures showing that Ensenada is, apparently, the Disneyland of the area, full of all sorts of clean fun and safe excitement for the family seeking a vacation.

still can't figure out why the cousin doesn't want to go down to Ensenada.
