The International Bodyboarding Association (IBA) is looking to raise US$100,000 for the base funding to stage the IBA Zicatella Pro, at Puerto Escondido, from August 8 – August 18, 2012. [www.surfertoday.com]

I think the state and municipality should dedicate Punta Colorada in perpetuation forever to the body boarders. That way the surfers won't get in their way. They deserve it after raising all this money. The life guards can even build a tower at Punto Colorada.

Viva Veracruz & Viva Puerto EscondidoMusings from and about living in Mexico

Ciao Bella Musica Bela

Many people ask “What is your favorite music? What artists or CD’s do you recommend?”

I ask you, “Do you like rock, jazz, fusion, blues, or bluegrass?”

OK then have you heard anything from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones? Probably not.

If you are a fan of any of the aforementioned musical genres then “Bela Fleck Live Art” is a must for any music collection.

Even if you are not necessarily a fan of those categories of music, if you are looking for one of the best  CD’s for a sound system testing – take this one to your next music system audition and CRANK IT UP!

Bela and the Flectones is a trio (often plus friends) that includes arguably the best bass player on the planet Victor Wooten. There are not enough superlatives to cover the amazing talent of Wooten. He is a Grammy award winner and has been voted “Bass Player of the Year” fromBass Player magazine three times consecutively. The first person to win the award more than once. “Amazing Grace” played by solo bass is absolutely amazing!

Wooten’s  brother Roy AKA `Future Man’ plays the Drumitar (a combination of a Synthesizer, Drum Machine and a Guitar) and Bela Fleck, plays the Banjo.

Roy “Future Man” Wooten on the Drumitar

Chick Corea, Branford Marsalis, Jerry Douglas, Edgar Meyer, Paul McCandless, Bush and others also make guest appearances on these 21 tunes

If you like the “Live Art” CD you might want to add “Bela Fleck & The Flecktones – Greatest Hits Of The 20th Century” Another two CD offering with some great music.

If you could only buy ONE CD (set) this would be it. This is GREAT music. You SHOULD be listening to it. Stay Tuned!

“ Hurricane Carlotta ”

17 June 2012, 12:17

Anybody with any info regarding the hurricane that passed along the coast. We understand from reading a few on-line newspapers, Puerto Escondido was hit with big winds, etc and that some damage was reported in Pluma de Hidalgo. The news here is pretty sketchy, hope everything is "ok" in Huatulco.

Two children killed in Hidalgo. Maybe more injuries among the poor. Those little jacals (huts) offer scant protection in any big storm. Heart-breaking---so much for the proclamation on A I buses "Welcome to paradise!"

"Paradise" only for some.

A lot of power cuts.

The big hotels will be just as luxurious.

Our sincere sympathy to the family of the children, especially their mother.

The deaths of these 2 girls was a terrible thing

I do fail to see how resort hotels 30 miles away affect the deaths of these sisters

Without the resort hotels Pluma Hidalgo would have nothing more then a goat path leading to it ( that is all there was 10 years ago)

Nor would tourists be around to go to Pluma and spend their money

Pluma is a paradise with or without the resort hotels

Terrible things happen all over each and every day

But to blame hotels or resorts for this incident is a huge reach that I will not make

The most extensive damage appears to be in the Zipolite area with still no power or water after two days. The larger towns of Puerto Escondido and Huatulco appear to have been relatively fortunate.

Zipolite Buildings are certainly not built to the standards that there are in Huatulco

Could be part of the problem
