Onto Mazunte!

We've spent 8 fun days on the Zipolite beach walking, lounging, reading, tanning (me), playing chess (him). We're moving to the neighboring beach/area, Mazunte. The beach there is packed with beautiful people, hostels, artisan stands and yoga schools. We walked off the main road and discovered a gorgeous private beach- the beach of Marmejita. Wow. There's maybe 5 people there in total and the beach spans for nearly a kilometer.

Tomorrow we move into a beach house in this area owned by a Swiss man. It's just close enough to Mazunte but far enough to have our own space and location. Success! But there's no wifi and no actual electricity (solar panels will provide a little bit of power, yikes). I'll love isolation. I think. Beautiful sunrises. The sound of the ocean. And an empty beach.

Beautiful.

Naked in Mexico?

Our week in Mexico has been splendid. It's Semana Santa meaning the locals are holidaying on the coast as we are. Prices are up. Accommodations are hard to find. Did I mention Zipolite is a nudist beach? Cover up folks because the sun is hot!
We found a great place to stay for pretty cheap given the holiday. For $25 a night we have a full view of the beach, sunrise and sunset.

Checking back in later, until then - Happy Easter!
