I have a feeling there is more to the lippfamilies encounter with a road block that would make them stay away from Mexico. And that is fine. If you can go by their travel map they haven't traveled extensivly so maybe a bit of culture shock as well?. Personally the charm of a "machette " is just another interesting site that you can see in almost every other winter/tourist destination.

As someone who was on the edge of a riot in Oaxaca City a few years ago, let me share my thoughts. The teachers were protesting subsidies to private schools & President Calderon had come to Oaxaca on an unrelated matter

This link will give more info

theblaze.com/stories/…

We couldn't leave downtown b/c it had been blocked off - tear gas was used, & we were in movement en masse trying to stay out of the way. The local shop keepers & restauranters made sure we were kept out of the way of any "action". I would have no issue with going back to Oaxaca again some day, its a beautiful city & so are the people. All of us who are able to travel to Mexico, are so privileged, we need to have an understanding that there are may people in Mexico who have very little, & I am honoured that we are able to share their country with them.

Oaxaca Whistle Language Struggles to Survive MANUEL RUEDA - 01/22/2014, 08:02AM / Updated 01/22/2014, 06:35PM

Oaxaca Whistle Language Struggles to Survive
MANUEL RUEDA - 01/22/2014, 08:02AM / Updated 01/22/2014, 06:35PM

The isolation of the Mexican town San Pedro Sochiapam, nested deep in the Oaxaca mountains, has probably helped to preserve its most famous cultural asset: A unique whistle language that enables people to communicate like birds.

"I think that it's been around ever since this town existed," said Marcelino Flores, a 67-year-old farmer, who studies the local Chinanteco language.

"A relative of my wife's who was 100 recently died, and she said that ever since she was small the police would call each other by whistling," Flores said.

San Pedro's "whistle language," known locally as El Chiflido, is actually a whistled form of the Chinanteco language.

When they whistle, chiflido users emulate the tonal sounds of Chinanteco, an indigenous language with 14 tonal combinations that sounds somewhat like Thai to the untrained ear.

Marcelino Flores is one of the last users of the whistled form of Chinanteco

Chiflido users can whistle thousands of ideas over long distances, and hold a complex conversation without uttering a single word.

"People in other towns are amazed at our ability to whistle, its something that makes me proud" said Flores, who has been visited by linguists from New Zealand, Canada and the U.S.

Like many indigenous tongues in Mexico however, the chiflido is slowly retreating into extinction. Flores estimates that some 150 people in San Pedro can use the chiflido. But Mark Sicoli, a Georgetown University linguist who specializes in Chinanteco, says that he found just seven senior citizens and two young people who were fluent in the whistle language.

“If one of those guys gets work out of town, then the language is under threat,” Sicoli said in a phone interview.

Part of the problem is that the whistle language no longer suits the lifestyle of local residents.

Its main purpose according to linguists, is to enable communication between farmers who are separated by long distances and deep valleys. It is also used by hunters who split away from each other, as they chase animals in the forests that surround San Pedro.

However, as the residents of San Pedro turn away from an agricultural lifestyle and migrate to cities, the chiflido is not as needed.

The Mexican government hasn't done much to rescue this tradition either, unlike Spain, which has invested heavily in saving a rare whistle language used in the Canary Islands.

Currently there is no program to teach the chiflido in the local school. And women don't practice the whistle language because locals consider it improper for females to whistle.

"Young men can do some whistling, but it's a weak form of whistling that goes no longer than 30 feet," Flores said.

"I am afraid this tradition is going to disappear."

But there is some hope.

See the above video for more on this unique whistle language, and two young people who are actually using it.

Peaceful settlement of the Oaxacan coast is famous for its nude beach, where foreign and domestic visitors discover that not only leave clothes and modesty aside but bare their senses

Armando Rodríguez Gutiérrez

^[1] ZIPOLITE , this peaceful town in the Oaxacan coast is famous for its nude beach, where foreign and domestic visitors discover that not only leave clothes and modesty aside but bare their senses to immerse yourself in an exotic paradise.
Zipolite is definitely far from the traditional beach destination packed with tourists and luxury hotels, it is rather a place to have intimate contact with nature, to escape from it all and enjoy the simple.
Though this town is predominantly rustic and has no great tourist infrastructure, its people say its visitors are captivated by its charm and stay longer than planned. ..

    Bahias De Huatulco - a new destination.

   Hi everybody,
   
   
   we're writing this post not just to promote our diving center but the whole area of Bahías de Huatulco - Oaxaca - Mexico.
   
   
   Huatulco is not very known for diving but in reality is a really nice place to be underwater.
   Vulcanic rocks formations, lot of hard coral and most important a really impressive quantity of underwater life!
   
   
   We've more than 30 dive sites here, more than half inside the limits of our National Park, with a depth in between 30ft and 90ft with a visibility in between 20ft and 35ft.
   
   
   Temperature: Winter in between 64Fº and 78Fº (3mm wetsuit) - Summer in between 80Fº and 90Fº (no wetsuit).
   
   
   In Bahias de Huatulco we have been honored with the Certificate EarthCheck Gold 2012, which recognizes that our community is sustainable, neutral in carbon emissions, and has clean beaches. This makes it a comfortable and safe place for all the tourists that visit us.
   
   
   About underwater life Huatulco is a paradise, hundreds of "common" fishes like Butterflies, Trumpets, Angels, Puffers, Porcupines, Sergeant Mayors, Moray eels plus sting rays, eagle rays, mantas, sharks, whale sharks and during the winter the Humpback whales passing by out of our shores.
   
   
   If you have questions, doubts or just want to know more about dives in Huatulco, feel free to respond to this post, we'll be here to help you.
   
   
   We hope to see more divers discovering our beautiful waters and not just thinking about our business but for sharing the passion that we have for the sea!

Latest Mexico travel warning excludes most tourism destinations By Gay Nagle Myers

Latest Mexico travel warning excludes most tourism destinations

By Gay Nagle Myers

The Mexico travel warning issued by the U.S. State Department on Jan. 9 contained no essential changes or surprises from the last one that was issued on July 15.

Still exempt are Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, San Miguel de Allende, Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico City, Riviera Nayarit, Oaxaca, Huatulco, Puerto Escondido, Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Tulum, Merida and Chichen Itza.

The latest warning said there is escalated cartel violence in the northern border regions and in areas of the Mexican state of Michoacan. Tourists are not targets but are advised to defer travel to those areas and exercise caution if traveling there.

"Millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year. The Mexican government makes a considerable effort to protect U.S. citizens and other visitors to major tourist attractions, and there is no evidence that Transnational Criminal Organizations [cartels] have targeted U.S. visitors and residents based on their nationality," the advisory said.

Resort areas and tourist destinations generally do not see the levels of drug-related violence and crime reported in the border region and in areas along major trafficking routes, according to the warning.

The Mexican government has deployed federal police and military personnel throughout the country as part of its efforts to combat the TCOs.

The Pacific coast state of Guerrero continues to deal with problems on its northern and southern borders and travelers are warned to stay away from those areas. The warning cautions visitors to remain within the tourist areas in Acapulco, Ixtapa, Taxco and Zihuatanejo.

The same holds true for Mazatlan in the state of Sinaloa. As in the previous warning, travelers are advised to stay within the Zona Dorada and the historic town center, but to defer nonessential travel to the rest of the state.

Likewise, the State Department said travelers should "exercise caution" in Monterrey and defer nonessential travel to the rest of the state of Nuevo Leon.

Cities and areas that U.S. citizens should avoid or be particularly vigilant in include Ciudad Juarez, Tijuana, Ensenada, Chihuahua City, Torreon, Saltillo, Piedras Negras, Ciudad Acuna, towns in the eastern portions of the state of Mexico, the eastern edge of Sonora, Veracruz and Zacatecas.
