Day of the Dead - day 1 - Childrens Night
We are woken by the sounds of a marching band and nip outside to see a crowd of children dressed as mummies, dracula and other halloween characters parading to alters where the food and drink is given to them.

Beach Retreat for 4, y un Bendito Perro

Day 56 (2/11/11): 36km
Last night was horrible in the hostel! Music was playing at the bar next door until midnight, but the noise didn't stop then. All night, people kept fumbling around with the metal lockers next to our room, watching TV, walking around and talking until past 2am. There was no ceiling to isolate our room from the noise, so we could hear everything…even the guy next door chomp, chomp, chomping on chips for 20 minutes…and be woken ...
Tehuantepec
... we went. I kept a wary eye on them and kept them in front of us as best I could. No worries! He had a different hotel in mind; but it turned out to be full and so he took us to the Daniji and we took a room with a/c for $32.
The zocalo had a central stage around which paths wound through " bean trees". For all of the young couples smooching in the shadows it could have been Paris in the Spring...and; of course ...
