Welcome to another Post…I know…its definitely being a while, but things are so busy…I have to give it to those that can post everyday or every other day…just can’t seem to find the time…but I am here now and with an interesting topic.
Now, a few weekends ago I headed down to Ensenada Baja California. This was the first time I have been there by myself since I have been married. My significant other is from Ensenada and well…since we have a new born she didn’t want to take the risk of taking her down there to young…so she encouraged me to go and represent…sort of speaking. So…I was extremely reluctant…I really don’t like the border on the way back…but since my brother-n-law was going to go and he would drive…I said why not…crazy…but I did.
So let me tell you from the start…how my weekend went. They picked me up on Friday at 8:00pm…we headed out…crossed the boarder into Mexico about 30 minutes…we had to make a quick stop to drop off some things to someone…well…we got lost…oh yah…we finally found the place around 9ish…so we unloaded the TRUCK…then everyone wanted tacos…so we went to a little stand…ate…it was about 10pm…of course beer was a necessity…so they…not me…started drinking…I am talking about the driver….so anyhow…we finally got on our way…about 10:45pm Friday…it was a crazy drive there…driver was drinking…something awkward…but we were in Mexico…we got to Ensenada around 1:00am in the morning…more drinking…I couldn’t believe how they love to drink…you know I like my beers. but come on. So went to sleep at or around 2:00am…well…if you call it sleeping…with people partying outside, cars stretching there tires…well I saw the sun rise.
Saturday morning went down stairs…guess what…they were drinking…WOW…so I went outside…guess what…the place needed cleaning for the big birthday fiesta…it was the other brother-n-law…you see he has never thrown a birthday party…so it was going to be a HUGE event…so I cleaned for most if not all of the morning…and I mean cleaned. We took off to get tables…about 6…drove back and set them up…oh yah all why the driver was drinking. They started preparing the food…and then some final touches…the party started around 5:00pm on Saturday…lots of liquor…lots. Now, I noticed that once the party started…I was pretty much forgotten about…I tried getting into the conversations, but the people kept moving away…or making up an excuse about having to go somewhere (to the next table)…it happen all night long…you just know when you aren’t wanted…seriously…some of you have been in that situation…so anyhow…I did drink but I found a point where I had enough…so around 11:00pm Saturday I snuck away…and headed towards the bedroom…well…that really didn’t do much for I didn’t sleep…pretty much half of the people there partied until the sun rose.
Sunday morning…went down stairs…they were still drinking….I could not believe it…I was wondering when they would fall over from alcohol poisoning…so they then started getting on my case…why I left…why I didn’t drink…and a few insults here and there. Blew it off…so Sunday morning I went outside and started cleaning up…you know…I seriously bagged up about 30 bags of cans (not crushed)…it was amazing…and there were bottles of Tequila…not one…not two…but about 10…and I have to mention they were HUGE bottles. So anyhow, I spent my Sunday morning cleaning. Now I was hungry…because I hadn’t eating since Friday night…because at the party they had Caguama…only…nothing else…really nothing else…and well I really don’t like it. sorry…that’s just me. I pretty much had it…so I told one of the brothers that I wanted to go get something to eat…they said…because the other butted in…why don’t you eat Caguama …I said…no thanks. So they took me to a place to eat meat…sorry for those vegetarians out there…but I needed meat. When we got there…they didn’t eat…only order beer…I ate…then I paid…which honestly I didn’t mind…I was hungry and well I wanted to go out.
So we left…but guess what on our way back…they stopped by to get micheladas…beer prepared…wow…amazing. Well…we said out good buys and around 6:00pm…we headed back to the gold old US of A. Wait…we had to stop to get more micheladas and a 12 pack of beer…for the drive…wow…well…we made it to the border around 8:00ish…we actually didn’t have to wait long… was so thanking a higher being at that moment….so we crossed I got home around 9:00pm. I pretty much jumped out of the truck while it was moving…and ran inside…yah I looked like “Leave it To Beaver” coming home…so anyways.
My dearest asked how it went…well I told her what I am telling you…and do you know what she said I was a party popper…and she didn’t want me talking about her family in such a bad way…I understand and I respect that…I guess I know where I stand…I am definitely second when it comes to the family….oh well…the thing I learned was…I will never go again to Ensenada…never.
My Perspective
