OK..........Now we are in Puerto Escondido. I will stick Wendy on for a while to write about this one.We were on a walk around the Playa Principal (Main Beach) and this was one of the colourful shelters for sitting or relaxing. Mal and Samara wanted to go for a walk in the middle of the day even though it was very hot. Something to do, I suppose. Puerto Escondido is a smallish fishing village which has not had a big take-over by Time Share Resorts. It is very pretty with two main beaches: one a fishing boat bay and great for body boarders (at one end) and the other is Zicatela which is a famous surf beach. Also, known as The Mexcian Pipeline. The beaches are separated by a rocky headland. Our hotel is on the border of both beaches which is very handy. Mal goes off to shoot the surf while Samara and I go for a swim or to browse the many stalls and markets. We are staying here for a week which I am pleased about as it is my favourite spot in Mexico so far. We still have 2 more destinations. The food is cheap and delicious.......$8 - $10 US for fresh prawns or fish meals. Every meal comes with tortilla chips and salsa as an entree and that comes free. As there is a few tourists here, there is also plenty of pizza and pasta and vegetarian restaurants. So with Mexican food as well, we are in food heaven. the people are very friendly, like they have been all over Mexico. The different areas we have been to, seem to specialise in different crafts and trinkets. In Mazatlan for example, there was heaps of silver jewellery, here at Puerto Escondido it is more beads. I am starting to buy a few things as we are on the last leg of the trip. We will have to buy an extra bag to get all our stuff home. I don't mind at all!
Margarita's call........it's Happy Hour,
Adios.........................Wendy
