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.

Triqui Children From Oaxaca Visit Disneyland: Basketball World Champions in US Tour By Jorge Calvillo

Triqui Children From Oaxaca Visit Disneyland: Basketball World

 Champions in US Tour

By Jorge Calvillo
Triqui Children

As a part of their tour through the US, the basketball team comprised of Triqui children visited Disneyland in California.
Invited by Latino and Indigenous communities in California, the children, also known as the "barefoot giants" had a great time at the gigantic theme park, marveled by the size of the mechanical games, according to Mexican newspaperEl Universal.

Previously, the winning team of the fourth minibasketball festival -where they surprised everyone by playing barefooted- enjoyed a match between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, and took a picture at the Hollywood sign.
Likewise, they have also played some basketball, playing matches against Catholic schools in the area, a team of journalists and a team comprised of activists of a pro-immigrant rights organization.
In statements which can be read on the Hispanically Speaking News website, Jorge Mario Cabrera, director of communications of the Coalition Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), said that "these children represent a ray of hope for those who want to succeed despite the challenges they face."
He added how regrettable it is that these young athletes don't receive the acknowledgement they deserve. "It's ironic that these children have to leave their country to be considered heroes," he said.
On his part, Gerardo Vásquez, who presides an organization of Oaxaca immigrant groups in California, told the Taipei Times of his admiration of the effort shown by the Triqui children.
"Despite having everything against them, these children have shown their strength on the basketball court and won. They've shown the world that, despite their circumstances, they're a ray of hope for the people of Oaxaca and Mexicans."
