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.

Located only a 3-minute walk from Mexico's most famous surfing beach a.k.a. 'MexPipe', Casa Colibri Zicatela is a 5000 sq. ft., 3-bedroom home featuring large open spaces perfect for relaxing or for fun-filled entertaining. Escape from the stress in your life by relaxing in this beautiful home with its comfortable furnishings.
Enjoy your morning coffee and fresh croissants (from the local French bakery) on the Master Bedroom terrace. Mix up some mango Margaritas or pour a glass of your favourite Cabernet and listen to the Pacific surf on the garden terrace. Or take in a sunrise or a sunset - you can watch both - from the roof-top terrace with its traditional Mexican Palapa roof.
If your vacation mission is total relaxation, then the architect of Casa Colibri Zicatela had you in mind when he designed this amazing house.
You can read, do Yoga, improve your tan, meditate, paint, watch television, surf the Internet (the house has full Wi-fi) or go for long, good-for-the-soul walks on the beach which is so close you can see it and the waves from the terrace. If livelier activities appeal to you, there's surfing and boogie boarding (lessons and rentals available), horseback riding and fishing charter boats - available on two of Puerto's seven different beaches, four of which are centrally located just a 10 minute taxi ride away from the house.
Or take a half- or full-day tour of any of the several nearby bird and wildlife sanctuaries and fresh water lagoons or the sea turtle hatch and release station. Go for a jog on the beach and afterwards, enjoy a delicious fresh seafood lunch or dinner accompanied by cold Mexican cervezas in one of Puerto Escondido's many right-on-the-beach, open air restaurants. Evenings, enjoy gourmet cuisine in any one of Puerto's several fine restaurants, some of which feature live music and dancing. After dinner, browse through the charming and well-stocked boutiques in Puerto's El Adoquin shopping district and we guarantee you'll find that perfect memento of your idyllic Puerto Escondido vacation.

What A Wonderful World Louis Armstrong lyrics




Uploaded by  on Nov 7, 2010
What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong with lyrics

**I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!**
**I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!**

LYRICS:

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah!
