And now, off to the beach... I took a long time reading about the beaches I hadn't yet visited (I had done a big tour of west and east coast beach destinations years ago, and my pretty hard and fast rule is to always go somewhere new). So no Puerto Vallarta, Alcapulco, Mazatlan, or east-coast beaches, either... I chose Puerto Escondito because of the proximity of a lot of beaches south of it, in case PE did not hold my interest for the whole time I was there.
Puerto Escondito is home of the "Mexican Pipeline" - a world famous line of surf. It is not safe to swim in that water as the undertow is just incredible. I pranced around in it - had a blast!
(No fool I, I was right under the elevated hut of the lifesavers)
In spite of the great beaches in Puerto Escondito, those who know me know I can only sit still or lay around for so long, so in fact I did jump on some buses and check out some others too -
here is a taste of a number of them:
OK, I'll stop with the beach pictures now - any more and you'll accuse me of bragging.
Yes, the were as glorious as they look - stunning, in fact.
On my beach-reconnaissance day I travelled on bigger buses, but then had to catch small local ones from beach to beach. I let a few of them go by before I realized that they were buses at all:
Now, I ask you - does that look like a bus to you?!
Pelicans and fishing boats - these was the scene outside the hotel I stayed at.
As I write this it is the 1st of December and I am FREEZING inland and northwards in Tequis!
And my tan is fading fast - oh how I yearn for more beach time....
