Quinta Lili Puerto Escondido

... We got our tickets to San Cristobal for tomorrow and had a quiet night in the hostel. <br><br>Saturday 29th Aug 2009<br><br>Another day at the beach, this travelling milarky sure is hard work!! We met two Americans Dan and Sam who were sitting beside us and approached us to take a photo of them. They were very American, all 'o my god' and 'o good for you' when we told them what we were up to for the year. Dan is a police man who works in ...

... Not only did we have to teach the Austrians how to cook but how to play soccer, haha. Well i wouldnt call it teaching but the Aussies and Canadians did beat the Europeans by one goal. I dont know how we won, could have been from Mikos playing in his socks and his sweet kicks from far out. Or from Luckus sweet goal on our own net, whatever it was we won and it felt good. Thanks for the sweet stop over we hope will meet again safe travels.

... azure blue waters of the Pacific Ocean again. They were an expression of the diversity and beauty of nature that was now to end up on someone&#8217;s plate to be washed down with a glass of C******nay. Strange world we live in, but it is best not to think too much about such things since &#8220;vegan&#8221; is not for everybody.<br><br>Our attention was also drawn to a sunburned gentleman who was wearing a fuzzy coconut hat. It gave him all the ...

... 5 minute $25 taxi ride as we made it to our hotel for $6.  We spent the day lounging by the pool and relaxing since we were so tired from the flight.  That night we had an outstanding Mexican meal with the best tortilla chips and salsa both Stacy and I have ever had.  We also ordered unidentifiable fish that huge huge scales that resembled teeth all over it's body.  It was delicious.  

... had slowed and almost stopped by my last night on the beach, after an afternoon in the water letting strong tides and currents push and pull me. While at a Zipolite restaurant waiting for my pepper steak (ordered in a fit of nostalgia for one of my favorite meals at Msemo- the ocean-front restaurant in Mtwara), I looked around and, to my amazement, saw two other people eating alone. I felt happy. I wrote ...

... anticipated which was pretty impressive for a 10.5 hour bus ride. This was probably helped by the fact that the driver only stopped 3 times, each for a 15 minute coffee break, probably just to keep his nerves and reactions in tip top shape for those damn annoying corners that cause him to slightly reduce velocity from the speed limited 95km/h. Puerto Escondido is a nice town &amp; we headed straight out to the beach at Zicatela ...

... Puerto Escondido). She was a very cool lady and explained how she works to set things up for the community. While we were in the community, people were amazed that we had come from the US to their small farms pretty much in the middle of nowhere. We were like local celebrities. We got free bananas from the store (the best I've EVER had btw) and Aureliana made us a delicious lunch of chicken soup·. very, very fresh chicken soup!

... borracho by selling 2x1 cocktails for forty-five pesos (about AU$5). The setting of La Flayita is superb. With a verandah setup, hammocks, beanbags and lounges amidst the obligatory plastic tables and chairs make for a very, very relaxed atmosphere where one can sit sipping a Ticket to Fly (gin, vodka, white rum, coconut and strawberry) or a Banana Colada (for instance), while watching a wintry sun set over the northern Pacific Ocean, casting colours ...

... crowded. But we also used another smaller market nearby that had great bargains for produce and fruits. Terry found a few good things at the beach and we would sometimes go to the nearby Marinero beach, where we could use a couple of lounge chairs under a palapa (for a small fee) about 50 feet from the water. The water is a perfect temperature and Terry loves body surfing the small waves, he even bought a boogie board. I don't ...
