Casamar Puerto Escondido

... is market day in Puebla. Omigosh I could have spent the entire day there! Carman, I was thinking of you the entire time! There was so much amazing pottery and wonderful paintings! And jewelry! And food! And scarves! And purses! I wish I had a bigger suitcase... and more money! (Or my parents! Haha!)<br><br>And that airplanes did not have weight limits or certain flight restrictions :)<br><br>Ronja and I also got our picture taken on a nearby bridge - a popular site in ...

... issue or the other. The issues were fairly simple and designed for young children: Do you help around the house? Do you like to be active? <br><br>We first arrived at the school, called La Ciudad de los Hereos (The City of the Heroes) and were greeted by the popular cartoon characters I mentioned in my last post. They serve as role models for children. We met our helper and aid, Juan Carlos, and went into our classroom. It was a colorful classroom with bean bags ...

... attended the high school where he picked us up. His son, Carlos, is 17 and attends a private school here in Puebla. Edgardo also has a 13 year-old daughter named Sandy. We walked a block to our new home which is actually not his home, but his mother's. Edgardo figured that since his mother lives so much closer to our meeting facility, it'd be more convenient for Ronja and I. It's a beautiful 3 story home and his mother lives there with her son and daughter (Edgardo's brother and sister ...

... eager to check out the tropical beach, allegedly one of Mexico&#8217;s finest. <br><br>Puerto Escondido is primarily a surfer&#8217;s resort and the waves on many of the beaches are so strong that it is dangerous to swim there. After a brief dip and bit of sunbathing we decided to take a tour boat, having been promised that we would see sea turtles and even be able to swim with them. After sailing out to sea for about 20 minutes we ...

... Final thoughts on Puerto and Zipolite Brilliant places to chill out for a few days, Puerto Escondido more touristy, so if we hadnt been sick we probably would have spent more time at Zipolite. Probably a good time to get sick, in a hostel full of westerns Bloody relaxing, spending the whole day sitting by the beach doing absolutely nothing at all. I need to slow down when drinking, thrown up too much already Latin women generally arent as up front and easy as aussie girl, I need a new set of tactics.

... and enjoy the sun.<br>By the time Saturday came around it was far too hot to just sit on the beach so we decided to go for along walk instead. We headed up around the coast first to see the lighthouse and all the houses near by, which are all huge with massive pools. This is a wealthy area obviously! Then we walked along the beach and back round the coast the other way until we reached the town a few miles away, and the rocks that ...

... and shady. We set up our home as usual, Maria and Michel came over bringing Bigotes (yummy chocolate croissants) and we had a chat at the beach. We got ready and met with them downtown going to a restaurant and having dinner. Since it was the last evening with them we had a chat in their cabana and then drove home. When getting to the tent I had a feeling of hearing something and seeing a shade, but Jason told me not to worry. We went to the bathroom and only when ...

... was Puebla de Antano Hotel, 3 Oriente No. 206, Tel: 01 (222) 246-2403, 01 (800) 0128219. This small hotel is housed in a fine period building and is hard to imagine that up until recently was lived in by a family of five. The hotel has only been open for 3 weeks and benefits from a superb location just off the Zocalo. The few spacious rooms that they offer are each different in shape and size and come with lovely period ...

... again.   It was so peaceful and we had a really nice time on our last night.   Islie played around on the mini golf course and we all turned in pretty early.  Islie took her first two steps today down at the beach and then again up on the lawn while we were watching the sunset.  This trip has been so good for her. 

... to BusFusion. We spend the rest of the day exploring Cholula. Being the first day of spring there are huge celebrations going on here and most everywhere in Mexico. We visit a church high atop a hill which is built on an ancient pyramid. As if we are not already high enough we climb to the top to visit. Back down through the throngs of people, some shopping then back to our camp. In the morning we are off again to the North toward Guanajuato. Hasta luego amigos !
