Day three: we started out by heading north to Rosarito Beach, we were told about a little restaurant just after the Fox Mexico Studios named La Bamba, which offered a taste of good old American food. We were told that the restaurant is easy to miss so look carefully, we still missed it, so we ended up with a brief tour of downtown Rosarito. If you have never driven in Mexico let me tell you it requires 100% of your attention I have never see so many non drivers in one city in my life, any way back to what we were in Rosarito for, breakfast. La Bamba is a 50s style diner with excellent food, the only drawback is the prices are also at American levels, so forget the cheap eats you would normally be privileged to in Mexico. After breakfast we took a brief drive though Rosarito, we headed back north to an unknown destination( sometime I just like to drive and see what the world has to offer I call it my adventurous side).... We ended up driving more than 100 miles to a little town named La Bufadora about 17 miles south of Ensanada, Mexico, were we were suckered into a two dollar parking spot by some official sounding guy with a whistle, only to be told that was a scam, and that we could park for free several hundred feet ahead, oh well 22 pesos for a parking spot , and 50 cents to use their public restrooms, welcome to a third world country.

About 500 yards from the bootleg parking spot is where mother nature puts on a show. La Bufadora is famous for its natural water spout. Waves coming in a narrow path in the rock shore, force the Ocean thru a hole. The water shoots high into the air. The spray looks like a glittering fireworks display. This is my second time visiting La Bufadora the first time was on a Royal Carribean cruise, this visit is just as wonderful as the first, fresh made tacos 1 dollar, shops full of goods if you are in the mood for shopping, and plenty of restaurants. After a few hours in La Bufadora we headed back to the Puerto Nuevo for more pool time, before we check out on Wednesday and head to Legoland in Carlsbad.
