We arrived in Zipolite after a surprisingly long drive from Oaxaca. The 270 kilometers had taken almost 7 hours as the roads were winding and we had come across a lot of construction amongst patches of very heavy rain. The…
The Great Tire Caper
Trapped in Paradise
As I sit writing this, we find ourselves stranded in the tiny village of La Ticla. With a palapa of our own on the beach, it is a pretty enough place but we have already been here two days longer…

And They’re Off!
