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.ivan

Do you know the #chepil flower? They are hummingbirds!
Do you know the #chepil flower? They are hummingbirds!Here in #Oaxaca the chepil is a very rich plant that is prepared in different ways and in its yellow flowers is this beauty. On a hike in the mountains, I came across a succulent plant and wanted to take pictures to share some of the ideas I find. Nature is my only theory of art and immersing myself in it appreciating every detail awakens me a thousand ideas. If you have a plant of these or another beautiful one in your garden, share them with me.I leave you some hummingbirds I painted guiding me through those designs.

Mexico Songs by Gringos
Posted by Ted Campbell
I love Mexican music and could go on and on about my favorite groups and songs. In fact I wrote about some of them in this article.
There are also plenty of cool songs about Mexico by foreigners, mostly Americans.
Sometimes they’re dreamy glimpses of Mexico in the imagination, like James Taylor’s Mexico.
Sometimes they’re stories of bandits and federales, like Pancho and Lefty, by Townes Van Zandt, made famous by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard.
Sometimes they use the trope of Mexico as an escape, like Mexico by Cake, but they’re good songs about Mexico anyway.
The bad songs about Mexico, which aren’t on my list, are about doing tequila shots and making stupid decisions. Honestly, I don’t mind the lyrical content—I like doing tequila shots and making stupid decisions—but the music accompanying these banal, cliched songs about Mexico is undeniably terrible.
Instead, I want to hear (and recommend) Going Down to Mexico by ZZ Top, Mexican Minutes by Brooks & Dunn, The Seashores of Old Mexico by George Strait, Buenas Tardes Amigo by Ween, Mexicali Blues by the Grateful Dead, and South of the Border, a jazz standard done very well by Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, and numerous other artists.
All of these songs about Mexico and more are on my Youtube playlist Mexico Songs by Gringos. Check it out, and please recommend what I missed.

Move Over Craft Beer, Mezcal Is L.A.'s Favorite Drink
Ilegal Mezcal is made by a fourth-generation mezcalero in Oaxaca. The company also is responsible for launching a "Donald Eres un Pendejo" campaign and donating the profits to groups including Planned Parenthood.

Mezcal Vago remains a small operation with just 12 employees and old-school systems of production that rely on a handful of Oaxacan mezcaleros.
