Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: 07/21/14

A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Queen - Stone Cold Crazy (Live at the Rainbow) ... Hello All. My first wake up in Fairbanks, Alaska at Billies Backpacker Hostel. 48 F. or 9 degrees C this chilly morning. No smoke from the forest fires. Quiet out here at Billies. Weather report states that it should reach 71 Degrees F today. That will be nice. I am planning my week. Head to the Arctic Circle Tuesday morning. Will stay over one night. Will return to Fairbanks Wednesday evening. I forgot my wind breaker at home in Grand Coulee. So I am going to go on a 2.1 mile hike to Walmart, or Fred Meyer and pick one up. If I walk fast enough I should stay warm I like this new smart (Blu 5.0) phone. GPS looks like it works good so I shouldn't get lost. Not many hills here in Fairbanks. Billie advertises that she has bikes one can use, so I might check that out later in the week. See ya all. I will share some of my pics later today. Give me a call if you would like. (509) 634-1321. Here is one of Billies' Pugs :) ivan PS: The sun set at about ll:30pm ... but it never really got dark all night. Freaky!
