Mexico
We didn't bike in Mexico on this trip. We left our folding bikes in a storeroom
in Cancun and headed by bus to San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, and
then on to the coast of Oaxaca. We spent the month of March in San Agustinillo,
Oaxaca.
These places -- San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, and San Agustinillo,
Oaxaca, appear elsewhere in wallyandbarbara.com. Here, we will only add
one new photo from San Cristobal, and a few photos around San Agustinillo,
including a cabana where we stayed this year for the first time. It was fantastic!
We saw the girl below in San Cristobal de las Casas. She was tiny, and she was
walking up and down the street, with her baby brother on her back, selling little clay
animals.
 In San Agustinillo, we rented a little cabana above the beach, to the east of the village.
In the photo below, the arrow shows where the cabana is located. It was quite a hike
from the village, which is out of the photo to the left, and the beach, more than
it looks in the picture.
The cabana was very inexpensive, less than $700 for the entire month, and
it was quite basic inside. There was a nearly-bare living space and a
separate kitchen area, below, plus a tiny but well-ventilated bedroom, and a
bathroom.
The virtue of renting this cabana was the veranda, below. And the virtue of the
veranda was its incredible views, shown in photos that follow. Barbara said
several times that our veranda, from 5:30 p.m. to nightfall, was the best place
in the world.
