the fog-shrouded Ensenada streets to
their hotels and the camp ground at the
football (soccer) stadium.
The camp ground was made available,
complete with modern rest rooms and
showers (cold) for 5M per person wIlich

Annual Ensenada Tour, the experience
of this year's tour should prove invaluable for future events.
