Aldea Del Bazar Puerto Escondido

... a Basque girl. We went to a bar called "Ooh La La" on the beachfront at nearby Zicatela. It was a lively place full of surfers but aside from the Corona and Tequila being served it did not feel particularly Mexican. After a few drinks we moved on to &#8220;Barfly&#8221;, where a drunk Australian expat started giving me some rather questionable advice on life in Mexico.<br><br>The next morning I managed to catch the Spurs/Man Utd ...

... pine forest in the higher regions. And people live up there! The most amazing little alpine villages - the houses sided with beautifully varnished wood pargue and often built on stilts out over the steep slopes. No sleep walking up there!!! In spots they had cut the forest and planted corn on hillsides so steep a cow couldn't walk them. Melons were planted on the same steep hillsides at lower elevations. This stretch of road earned Victor his credentials as "Maestro del Manejandro ...

... that it only has clothes. Jason went to the police but only got laughed at. It was very frustrating talking to the people and figuring out that nobody really cares and that it's always the same. Everybody just takes it as it is, nobody tries to fight it off and worst is, they don't care about the image you get when getting robbed and telling it to other people, since they know there will always be tourists coming there. I think that was one of the things that ...

... blog post that it would be about 3 hours. Well whomever told me that is a big fat liar face. Either that or we took a long way to get there (which is more like it). We wanted to take the longer way because it is supposed to be less windy and treacherous but if thats the case I don't know how people survive the other way. We spent 7 hours going up and down mountains, changing altitudes on the windiest roads I've ever experienced. Jordi works on a boat so she's ...

... to keep a low-profile...just in case Nacho Libre was still miffed about his squad car and he had the lynch mob out looking for us. So we got some serious rest and relaxation in Puerto Escondido! All day on the beach was great, but after a day of sun and fun (no rain for the first time in weeks!), my butt was missing it's motorcycle. Our next mission, if we choose to accept it, is to leave the Pacific Coast behind and climb the mighty Sierra Madre mountain range, into ...

... Islie's friends back home.  Last night when we were there we got Islie a little wooden pull toy dog.  She loved chewing on it more than pulling it.  We had a late dinner back at our hotel and I took Islie for a little walk under the stars by the upper swimming pool.  She ended up falling asleep in my arms on a deck chair.  So tender.  

... last couple of stops. We camped off for a couple of cervesas on the beach while the kids swam and Bev sampled the local coconut man's vodka special. We met one of the local fisherman and after a bit of negotiation planned a sportsfishing charter for the next morning for 30 bucks an hour all gear provided. The boys and I headed out the next morning at 7am on the "Bela". It was one of the biggest boats with an English speaking skipper who almost guaranteed we would get onto ...

... medical Spanish class from 3 - 5. Our teacher's name is "Cron"-well at least that's his nickname, but I don't remember his real name. We went over some names of body parts and basic ways to ask certain questions. It was good overall. I have learned a lot of body parts in the past, but it has been a while and I didn't remember quite a few of the more detailed ones. There was a volleyball tournament that ...

... he had the peeling cracked plaster scraped from the bathroom walls and started to re-paint them. However, he used a dark kelly green that really wasn't very nice and it was sort of a messy job with paint droppings on the floors that needed cleaning, etc. They needed a supervisor or something. Oh well, he's trying.
