3 More sleeps!

Tuesday we head back to the Southern Coast again. This time we will be staying in a little village called Puerto Angel

Now this directional thing is always a source of exchange with other visitors to the area, not to mention between Adrian and I. Oaxaca State is one of the most southerly states in Mexico (not to mention one of the poorest). And is only about 700km from the border of Guatemala.


This map is accurate to north/south standards and clearly the ocean is to the SOUTH of the land.....however the argument by those who are WRONG is that the ocean is on the west side of the North American land mass so it is the WEST coast. The people on the CORRECT side of the argument are those who can literally and clearly see that this is the South coast of Mexico :) take that! Diplomatically speaking, both sides can agree that this is indeed the Pacific Coast

No matter the location, the weather is guaranteed, there are on average 320-350 days of sunshine per year. Last year we spent 38 days (Dec 26-Feb 2) in the same area and we did not get one drop of rain and the minimum daily temperature was 30 degrees.  Check out the next 5 days......heaven!

Heading to Oaxaca again...

It has been 10 plus months since my last post and over 11 months since we left to Puerto Escondido for our 5 weeks in 2011, but here I am again blogging a trip to Oaxaca! On January 3rd we head back, this time to Puerto Angel! Puerto Angel is closer to Huatulco airport, which is a plus, but it is a little bit smaller and less civilized than Puerto Escondido.

Last year we drove to Puerto Angel a few times to enjoy some of the local beaches there, our favourite was Zipolite, here is a picture of us enjoying a cold one

Pretty sure we will have a few more of these when we get there!
