The
result of wicked surfing?

Wednesday 7 - Tuesday 13 November
Puerto
Escondido continues to exert its pull on us, its a hard place to leave.
We've made many friends, worked on the landy and progressed slightly with
our surfing despite the shallow water and huge waves that slam us into the
sandy bottom. On
Sunday we watched Mexico play Honduras for world cup qualification in a
restaurant and got free shots of mezcal, an awful petrol-like drink. Unfortunately
Mexico won so we had to drink another round!

A La Casa...

Lots of
time to play pool...

small children to the landy

Our
usual haunts in Escondido are "El Cafecito", which is conveniently
located at our campsite entrance, and "A La Casa", run by a canadian
and has a relatively flat pool table and nice staff, both important wicked traveller
forms of entertainment.
Both blue,
both slow but only one is a landy

No hiding
with that colour

We finally
managed to leave on Tuesday, once Bs board had been stuck back together again,
and headed off towards Chiapas. Making good progress we were soon back into
the swing of things. We stopped in Juchitan to eat in the bus station comedor
(cafe) where we caused a stir being the first english people ever to set foot
in the place. Later on we found a tranquil field to camp in near Zanatepec,
right on the isthmus of Mexico.
