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.

I’m waiting until 2022 to plan my next big trip — and not just because of COVID-19 The pent-up return to travel demand has caused over-tourism in many popular destinations.

The Canadian border has been closed for American tourists since March 2020. But after nearly 17 months, it will reopen again next week. Here’s what you need to know about traveling to Canada:

 

Issue 57: Canada has Reopened.
 
 
The Canadian border has been closed for American tourists since March 2020. But after nearly 17 months, it will reopen again next week.

Here’s what you need to know about traveling to Canada:
Starting August 9, American tourists who have been fully vaccinated for at least 14 days will be welcome in Canada without quarantine. (Fully vaccinated travelers from other countries will be permitted beginning September 7.) A negative test won’t be required, though randomly selected travelers may be asked to take a test upon arrival.

Children under 12 years of age are exempted from the vaccination requirement. Whole family can go!
Before arriving, visitors to Canada must upload their proof of vaccination—your CDC card works fine!—and their travel information using the ArriveCAN app (web or mobile).

If you’re flying, you have to arrive in one of these 9 airports: Toronto (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR), Montréal (YUL), Calgary (YYC), Winnipeg (YWG), Halifax (YHZ), Québec (YQB), Ottawa (YOW), or Edmonton (YEG).

Though cheap flights to Canada had been relatively sparse, many airlines are adding flights in anticipation of increased tourism interest now that Americans are welcome back. Expect a wave of cheap flights over the upcoming weeks and months, and when they pop up, we’re gonna find them.

Remember that, as with all international flights, you’ll need a negative test taken within 3 days of your return flight to the US. This applies to all air travelers, including vaccinated Americans.

The one exception? If you drive to Canada.
On January 26, 2021, the US began requiring all travelers to show a negative Covid test within 3 days of their flight. But the CDC order explicitly exempted drivers from this requirement.
Domestic Load Factor is Close to Pre-Pandemic Levels.
 
I love flights but road trips are fun too, especially in the summer/fall. If you’re eager to visit Canada but worried about the logistics of getting a Covid test before your return, driving is a workaround.
Remember that for Canadian travel you’ll need a passport—and passport processing times right now are pushing five months or longer. (Yikes!) What you need to know and tips on speeding things up here.

WAIT, WHAT?! Utah Officials See People Dangerously Hammocking In Power Lines

Utah Officials See People Dangerously Hammocking In Power Lines

Hammocks are supposed to be used to relax, right? Well, some Utah residents are using them for a thrill.

Utah officials are now publicly warning people to stay off of power lines after seeing an increase in the number of people hanging hammocks in them, reported ABC 4.

The sheriff's office posted the warning on Facebook after seeing people hanging from the power lines between North Ogden and Pleasant View. Weber County Sheriff's Office wrote:

"EXTREME HIGH VOLTAGE
Over the past few years we have noticed an increase in people hammocking from the power lines on the bench of North Ogden and Pleasant View. As you can see in the picture below the hammockers are climbing up the tower and sometimes between power lines. These lines carry 75,000 kilovolts and that power can jump from the lines. This activity is extremely risky. Rocky Mountain Power and the Sheriff's Office will be conducting extra patrols of the area and anyone caught on the towers will be cited for trespassing. We would really hate to see someone injured from either a fall or electrocution. Parents, please pass this along to your children."
