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.

Officers Stop Deer on Bay Bridge for ‘Toll Evasion’


Officers Stop Deer on Bay Bridge 

for ‘Toll Evasion’

California highway officers say they stopped a
young deer on the east span of the Bay Bridge
“for toll evasion.”
A photo published Tuesday by the California
Highway Patrol shows the deer on the bridge
standing in the middle of an on-ramp with a
deer-in-the-headlights look.
The officer joked in a Twitter post that the
doe usually pays the toll but “today she was
 a buck short.”

It looks to us like that “doe” is really a young
spike buck — if you look closely, you’ll notice
two small thin antlers. “She” may have had that
buck after all.
CHP Officer Matthew Hamer says two officers
were on patrol on the bridge early Tuesday when
the deer came out of the woods on Treasure
Island and walked in front of their car.
He says after staring at them for a couple of
minutes — long enough for the officers to
snap a photograph — the deer went back
 into the woods.
