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.

Apple, Aeromexico betting on potential of sleepy Huatulco By Michelle Baran

Apple, Aeromexico betting on potential of sleepy Huatulco

By Michelle Baran
Secrets Huatulco is situated along a quiet cove on the Oaxacan coastline.HUATULCO, Mexico — This month, Apple Vacations partnered with Aeromexico to charter the first-ever nonstop flight from Los Angeles to the emerging southern Mexico resort area of Huatulco.

The move is part of a larger strategy to develop tourism along this stretch of Oaxacan coast at a sustainable pace.

"We would love to see more development, but in a very controlled way," said Mark Noennig, Apple Vacations vice president and general manager.

Noennig said Huatulco, which is much less developed than the popular Mexican resort areas of Cancun, Riviera Maya, Yucatan, Baja and Acapulco, "is a more authentically Mexican destination offering beautiful scenery," with ocean and mountain backdrops and "more laid-back than other resorts."

Huatulco was established as a resort development area by the Mexican government in the 1980s.

But unlike some of Mexico's densely developed areas, this stretch of coastline has developed slowly, giving it a quieter, more detached feel.

It has also been developed with an eye toward environmental preservation of its rich, hilly jungles that end in rocky cliffs and sandy beaches along the Pacific Ocean.

The challenge is maintaining what differentiates this place from other Mexico beach areas while continuing to increase tourism, which has become the dominant industry in this sleepy corner of southwestern Mexico.

For now, Huatulco presents greater value than other Mexico resort towns, Noenning said, in part because there is less airlift, meaning hotels in Huatulco are more aggressive with their rates.

Apple Vacations is committed to finding the right supply-and-demand balance.
A mangrove in La Ventanilla, on the southwestern coast of Oaxaca.Huatulco has only a handful of larger resorts — Dreams Huatulco Resort & Spa, Hotel Barcelo Huatulco, Quinta Real Huatulco and Camino Real Zaashila Huatulco — in addition to smaller boutique hotels and vacation condos and villas.

A year ago, a new Secrets Huatulco Resort & Spa opened, helping to boost capacity and giving Apple the incentive to create the Los Angeles charter. (Apple Vacations' parent company, Apple Leisure Group, also owns AMResorts, which owns the Secrets and Dreams resort properties.)

For the slower summer season, Apple has contracted a partial charter with Aeromexico for a weekly Los Angeles-Huatulco flight that runs from June 7 to Aug. 9, joining direct flights from Chicago and St. Louis. This winter, Apple will fly here from Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Louis.

To further develop, Huatulco needs more resort properties and more and fuller flights arriving, but almost everyone in the trade here agrees that growth should be slow and steady.

A property manager for My Huatulco Vacation, a company that manages and rents vacation homes and villas here, said she was happy that, for instance, there are restrictions on how tall resorts can be — something that keeps the coastline from looking like the string of hotel towers that other popular Mexico beach destinations have become.

That said, "the biggest issue preventing aggressive risk expansion to Huatulco is the limited number of available hotel rooms," Noennig said. But, he cautioned that "Huatulco does not need 20 or 30 more resorts but rather a handful of new hotels from popular brands [that] would boost demand even more."

Ultimately, Apple would like to make Huatulco a year-round destination.

Indigenous gays celebrate traditions in Mexico

Indigenous gays celebrate traditions in Mexico

  • Eduardo Verdugo - AP Photo
    In this June 29, 2013 photo, a person known as a muxe, center, poses for a photo at a party in Mexico City. Zapotec indigenous homosexual men known as muxes gathered last weekend for a "vela," as community parties are called in the Zapotec city of Juchitan in the southern state of Oaxaca, to share their traditions with people in the Mexican capital. According to anthropological studies, some women in Juchitan encourage sons' muxe leanings because they tend to stay home and care for their parents rather than getting married.
MEXICO CITY Wearing a long skirt, headdress and loose blouse embroidered with bright flowers, Mariana de la Noche road on a float in Mexico City's recent gay pride parade. The float was for "muxes," Zapotec indigenous men who dress and behave in ways associated with women.
The 33-year-old restaurant cook was picked as queen of the "muxes" (pronounced MOO-shays) living in Mexico City, where for the first time Saturday they celebrated a "vela," as community parties are known in their hometown of Juchitan, a city of Zapotecs in the southern state of Oaxaca.
Gay men, transvestites and transgender people are generally accepted in Juchitan and often work as home helpers, embroiderers, decorators, cooks and entertainers.
Like Mariana, most of the muxes at her crowning wore Tehuana dresses from the Juchitan area, popularized around the world by Mexican artist Friday Kahlo, along with the region's traditional large gold earrings and necklaces and "resplandor," headdresses made from a starched veil worn around the face like a halo.
It was a party to have fun but also an opportunity to reaffirm the muxes' presence in the capital and celebrate their traditions from back home, said David Kelvin, who organized the event.
"We want to bring the party here, but through the party we want to have a (message) about exercising our rights, of respect, of dignity, of culture," Kelvin said.
The contact between muxes and the gay men from Mexico City has led to the fusion of urban and indigenous cultures, said Kelvin. The gathering was important "to rescue our culture, to rescue who we are and show the rest of the people in this city how we live our sexuality, how we exercise our rights," he said.
According to anthropological studies, some women in Juchitan encourage sons' muxe leanings because they tend to stay home and care for their parents rather than get married.
"Muxes are a blessing from God because they look after you when you are sick more than a woman would," said Vicenta Toledo, who attended the party with her gay son. "They are a very important part of life."

Fifteen Mexican States have Elections Scheduled for July 7 By Allan Wall

Monday, July 1, 2013
Fifteen Mexican States have Elections Scheduled for July 7
By Allan Wall
Last year, 2012, Mexico held presidential and congressional elections.  The next congressional elections aren’t scheduled until 2015, and the next presidential election in 2018.
This year, on Sunday, July 7th, there are local elections being held in 15 states in Mexico.
Only one governorship is up for grabs, in the state of Baja California.
Each of Mexico’s 31 states has a unicameral legislature, the representatives in these legislatures are called diputados in Spanish.  In this summer’s elections, diputados are being elected in 12 states, plus one other state has a  special election for only one suchdiputado.
Mexico’s states are divided intomunicipios.  In the United States, a Mexican municipio would be something of a cross between a municipality and a county.  The mayor of a municipio is known as the alcalde, or presidente municipal, and he and the municipiocouncil together form the ayuntamiento. About 1,350 municipios are up for grabs on July 7th.
Let’s start on the far southeastern edge of the country and work our way north and west:
1.       QUINTANA ROO – This is Mexico’s easternmost state, home of the famous Riviera Maya tourist area. In Quintana Roo, 25 diputados and tenayuntamientos are being elected. 2.     OAXACA – In this state, located on Mexico’s southern Pacific Coast, 42 diputados are being elected, and 570 ayuntamientos.  Oaxaca is a mountainous state and the state has more municipiosthan any other in Mexico.  In all of Mexico there are 2,378 municipios, and Oaxaca has 570, which is about a quarter of the total in the whole country.       Additionally, out of the total of 570 municipios in Oaxaca, 153 are chosen in the regular way, with ballots and political parties, with the remaining 417 chosen using indigenous customs, in customary town meetings.3.      PUEBLA – In the state of Puebla, which is north of Oaxaca, elections are being held for 41 diputadosand 217 ayuntamientos. 4.     TLAXCALA – This small state is nestled between Puebla and Hidalgo, and voters in Tlaxcala are choosing 32 diputados, 60 ayuntamientos, and 391presidentes de comunidad.5.      HIDALGO lies northeast of the state of Mexico. Hidalgo’s voters are electing 30 diputados6.     VERACRUZ is a long state sprawled along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.  Its voters are choosing 50 diputados and 212 ayuntamientos7.      TAMAULIPAS is Mexico’s northeasternmost state, along the Gulf of Mexico. Its voters are selecting 36 diputados and 43 ayuntamientos8.     AGUASCALIENTES is, geographically speaking, at the center of Mexico.  Voters there are electing 27diputados and 11 ayuntamientos9.     ZACATECAS is north of Aguascalientes. Zacatecas is electing 30 diputados and 58ayuntamientos.10.  COAHUILA is north of Zacatecas, on Mexico's northern border, where it is contiguous with Texas, U.S.A.  Voters in Coahuila are electing 38ayuntamientos11.   DURANGO is located between Sinaloa and Zacatecas, and voters in Durango are electing 30diputados and 39 ayuntamientos.  12.  SINALOA is on the Pacific coast, west of Durango. Sinaloa voters are electing 40 diputados and 18ayuntamientos.13.  CHIHUAHUA is Mexico’s biggest state, which borders Texas and Arizona to its north.  Chihuahua voters are electing 33 diputados and 67ayuntamientos.14.  SONORA is a northwest Mexican state that borders Arizona in the U.S.  The Sonora election is a special election, to elect only one state diputado for District XVII. 15.  BAJA CALIFORNIA is Mexico’s northwesternmost state, the northern portion of the Baja California peninsula.  Its five municipios have elections for the ayuntamientos, while 25 diputadosare to be chosen.
Baja California was the first Mexican state after the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) in which the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institicional) was defeated in a gubernatorial election. That was in 1989, when the PAN (Partido Acción Nacional) won the governorship. 
This was followed nationally by the PRI’s loss of a congressional majority in 1997, and the first PRI loss of the presidency in 2000.  So, that 1989 PAN victory was an important part of Mexico’s political development.
The PAN has held onto the Baja California governership since 1989, for the past 24 years, which is impressive.  The current governor is PANista Jose Guadalupe Osuna Millan, whose six-year term is scheduled to expire on Halloween of 2013, four months hence.
The three candidates up for election on July 7th are Francisco Vega de la Madrid, of the PAN coalition (which also includes the PRD, the Nueva Alianza party, and thePartido Estatal de Baja California); Fernando Castro Trenti, of the PRI coalition (which includes the Green Party, the Labor Party, and the Social Encounter Party); and Felipe Ruanova Zarate, of theMovimiento Ciudadano.

MexiData.info noteFor details and information on the 2013 elections, go to the local electoral institute sites in each of the aforementioned 15 states.  In Spanish.

Howdy people, 

Just back from Mazunte's turtle reserve so I figured a blog is in order before I nap and decide whether or not I'll go out tonight. 

The Hurricane party was a remembrance of Carlotta from last year. Held at Brad's split coconut bar. Bar name is fitting since the hurricane nearly killed brad haha! There was a live band covering Led Zeppelin tunes....but they sucked! So I didnt hang out long and wound up wandering towards home slowly where I ran into a local teacher I'd seen earlier at Brad's. She invited me to sit down and listen to the Latin band playing so I did for a bit until at midnight we shuffled to another spot where I strangely found my pasty white a** dancing....haha. 

Ok so this morning I woke at 445am to ready myself for the lunchbox trip to Mazunte. As I entered the main palapa, the usual suspects were still partying from the night before! I am glad I'm too old to pull off crap like that anymore. An uneventful trip down although I arrived wayyyyyy too early so I found a little restaurant got to know the owner and she and 

The Latin band.The Latin band.
The Latin band.

For the life of me..I cant remember the bar name. Might be the Mescal's fault!
her husband fed me eggs and ham black beans and rice tortillas and juice and 3 beers for 30......yes 30 pesos!!!!! Had a fun chat session till the reserve opened then I shuffled on over to buy a ticket in. All told it was small and not very impressive but still worth the 27 peso entrance fee. (pictures to follow). So as it's 5 pm here and I've been up 12 hours and I'll be worthless should I decide to go out if I don't get rest, I'll post and annotate pictures and go shower and visit my hammock. 

Hasta pronto a todos
