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.

Shoes for Souls


Shoes for Souls

A life changing experience for a local woman

Shannon Black heard God tell her “I want you to do that” as she listened to her friend Susan Hicks describe the blessings she received on a mission trip to Oaxaca, Mexico.  But she thought to herself, “There’s no way I could ever do that.” She wondered how she would get off work and be away from her family. A few months later she heard someone else sharing their missionary experiences and she knew she had to make it happen.

“I just got chill bumps and I felt God telling me again, ‘I want you to do that.’”  At that moment she grabbed Susan and said “Okay. I’ve got to do this!”
She and Susan, along with Susan’s husband Dennis Hicks and Rebecca Wells, found a way to do what God put in their hearts to do, and last October they made their way down to Mexico on a Shoes for Orphan Souls mission trip.

Shoes for Orphan Souls is a humanitarian aid project of Buckner International. Their organization delivers shoes to thousands of children in many impoverished regions of the world, children who otherwise might spend their young life dealing with diseases brought on by walking the harsh earth in bare feet. Buckner sends individuals like Shannon and Susan to these children with the blessing of brand new shoes and the assurance of Jesus’s love.

Though the shoes are meant to be a gift for the children, Shannon felt that she was the one who truly received a blessing. “It was just so amazing to see how much a simple pair of shoes, something we take for granted every single day, meant to the kids. They loved them,” she said.   The trip left Shannon with many unforgettable and life changing memories. She savored the simple beauty of singing a hymn, then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art, while others who worshiped sang the words in Spanish mi corazon entona la cancion, cuan grande es El. Shannon will also carry the memory of a little boy named Ernesto in her heart forever. Ernesto lived in an orphanage and walked with braces on his legs. She worked with him on Vacation Bible School activities, but before she could say goodbye a teacher took him to work on something else. Later she noticed Ernesto sitting in a corner, his feet without new shoes.  She was able to wash his feet and place new shoes on his young feet. “That was special for me, to put his shoes and socks on after we had formed that special bond. It was just a really awesome experience,” she said.

Susan received her share of blessings on that trip as well.  She visited a government orphanage. “They told us in the morning you’re going to be with some mentally challenged children,” she said. At first, the situation made Susan feel uneasy because, having had four healthy children, she had never been around children with disabilities before. Susan said, “I’m a talker and normally nothing ever prevents me from talking, but this day I couldn’t. I was just standing there thinking, ‘these children, what kind of life do they live?’” When she went into the room she noticed a girl, about 14 years old, who was sitting across the room moving her head back and forth.  Her name was Patti. Susan sat down with her, took off her old shoes and washed her feet. But, before she could get the shoes on Hattie’s feet something amazing happened. “Tears are just pouring down my face and I’m trying so hard to keep it together,” she said. Then, inside Patti’s new shoes Susan found a note. It said, “God made you special, love Mallory.” In that moment, God gave solace to Susan. “I was like okay Lord, that’s it. God made her just the way she is. I don’t understand it and it doesn’t seem fair in my eyes, but God you just gave me an answer right there. This little girl is special in your eyes,” Susan remembered thinking.

Volunteers like Shannon and Susan help bring blessings to orphans across the globe, and they are rewarded with joyous hugs and kisses of small children whose grateful smiles will forever linger in their minds.  If you too would like to help improve an impoverished child’s life by giving them a new pair of shoes you can drop-off a new pair of athletic shoes and socks to Calvary Baptist Church in Scottsboro by August 31. The shoes will be sent to Buckner International and processed to go out as a gift to a special child in need. For more information call 256-259-0385 or visit www.shoesfororphansouls.org

In Oaxaca, you’ll find an alley offering smoky grilled meats By Luke Pyenson | GLOBE CORRESPONDENT JULY 24, 2012


In Oaxaca, you’ll find an alley offering smoky grilled meats




























LUKE PYENSON FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE
A vendor at the Mercado 20 Noviembre in Oaxaca behind a shelf of various meats.



OAXACA, Mexico — Travelers know there is something special about the state of Oaxaca. A longtime destination for explorers of all kinds, the laid-back colonial capital of Oaxaca de Juarez, known simply as Oaxaca, is justly well known for being the “land of seven moles.” Those prized, saucy dishes range from the jet black mole negro to the golden-red mole amarillo.
But in an area where complexity in cuisine is celebrated, it’s worth knowing that one of Oaxaca’s culinary marvels is simply grilled meat wrapped in a tortilla. Eating carne asada at the Mercado 20 Noviembre is an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Located just a few blocks past the zocalo, or main square, the Mercado 20 Noviembre (named for the day on which Mexicans commemorate the Mexican revolution) is full of good things. The Mexican dining schedule resembles that of Spain. The main meal of the day, called comida, is in the afternoon. Therefore, the time to hit the market is between 2 and 6 p.m, when you’ll find many small comedors (modest food stalls with a counter and stools) selling solid, cheap food prepared by seasoned Oaxaquenas who also know their way around a good mole.
Better comedors will be serving a couple of selections each day, and it’s helpful to check out several of them first to see what’s on offer before making a decision. Smoke drifts into this area from an adjacent alleyway of primal pleasures, and it is wise to follow that smoke to the alley of carne asada vendors, located right next to the main market building.
Hawkers, bright lights, and displays of unrefrigerated raw meats prove to be a perfect storm of tourist deterrents. Mainly local families crowd the handful of communal tables toward the end of the alley. Each stall down the roughly city-block-long alleyway sells a few different kinds of meat, to be grilled “al carbon,” or over coals. There is tasajo, a type of thinly pounded, air-dried, salted beef; cecina enchilada, a thin pork cutlet covered in chili powder; fat little links of fragrant pork chorizo; thin slices of steak; and the occasional ropelike pieces of beef tripe blowing in the smoky wind. All are delicious, and are possible to enjoy together, as part of a “mixta,” or mixed platter.
Customers put together their tortillas from grilled meats, vegetables, chilies, and sauces.
LUKE PYENSON FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE
Customers put together their tortillas from grilled meats, vegetables, chilies, and sauces.
The meat is accompanied by grilled onions and charred chiles de agua (a mild, medium-size green chili pepper native to the region) from another stall in the alley. When you order meat from the meat vendors, they coordinate with the vegetable cooks, and at the end somebody brings you everything at once. This might include slices of fresh radishes, strips of nopales (cactus pad), and whole avocados criollos, the smaller, deeper green-fleshed forefather to the modern varieties. There is also, of course, guacamole, but don’t expect the chunky stuff you get in the States. Here, guacamole is more of a sauce than a dip; thin but with a little body.
The stage is set for everything to be stuffed into blandas, which are large, soft, Oaxacan tortillas made of pure corn. Diners create their handheld feasts and meals are shared over paper place mats without implements or the slightest hint of pretension. The end result is not unlike the Tex-Mex fajita, without the sizzle.
Pilar Cabrera, chef of the popular La Olla restaurant in Oaxaca and its cooking school, La Casa de Los Sabores, understands the appeal of the carne asada alley. “It’s a way to eat quickly and not too expensively,” she says. “It’s an example of how simple food can be as good as the most delicious mole you can make at home.”
Perhaps most people are not making a mole as good as the chef’s. But the reality is, even the locals aren’t eating moles every day. When in Oaxaca de Juarez, after you sample the moles, satisfy your appetite with smoky, grilled meat, pillowy tortillas, and indigenous avocados.

Viva National Tequila Day

July 24, 2012

Staff -- HispanicBusiness

tequilas

National Tequila Day hits America's bars and backyards today, according to those who decide such things. There are those, too, who think every day is tequila day. Or every Friday and Saturday night, with maybe a Sunday afternoon as well if the weather's nice.

Regardless, National Tequila Day it is. Whether that means wormy mescal someone brought you as a souvenir of a day trip to Juarez or an ultra-smooth Extra Añejo, the occasion offers a built-in excuse to indulge in one of Mexico's great gifts to the world.

By law, the national distilled spirit of Mexico must be made from the blue agave plant in the areas around the city of Tequila in the Mexican state of Jalisco, or in some parts of Guanajuato, Michoacan, Nayarit and Tamaulipas states.

In fact, that wormy mescal probably came from Oaxaca and is most definitely an inferior product.

North of the border, the stuff is often drunk in the lick, sip and suck style, meaning a lick of salt, a sip of Tequila and a suck on a slice of lime. Margaritas are pretty nice, too, on a hot evening over a plate of enchiladas.

In Mexico, however, the traditional method is to drink it straight up, with no training wheels, or drunk as a trio of sweet crimson sangrita, Tequila blanco and lime juice. That makes the colors of the Mexican flag -- red, white and green.

People magazine offers up some delicious-sounding recipes over here.

However you choose to celebrate National Tequila Day, though -- ¡Salud!

And, of course, don't forget that the drink has its own theme song:

Mexican archaeologists discover three 1,000 year old tombs near Monte Albán in Oaxaca 




The walls of the chamber are decorated with designs related to the ball game. Photo: DMC INAH/H. Montaño. Translated by: Cristina Pérez-Ayala ATZOMPA, OAXACA.- A funerary complex more than 1,100 years old and composed of three funerary chambers was discovered in the prehistoric site of Aztompa, Oaxaca. This discovery is highly important since it was registered inside a building that was designed exclusively to harbor a series of tombs which are placed vertically, one on top of another, and the main difference between the prior and the recently discovered tombs is that they weren’t found underground. According to specialists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH – Conaculta) who registered the discovery, this distinct construction model had not been identified within the region. This is also relevant since one of the mortuary chambers is decorated with mural paintings alluding to the ball game ritual, something that was rather unseen in a funerary zapotecan context. According to archaeologists, Atzompa had been a small satellite city of Monte Albán, founded during the Late Classic period (650 – 900 d.C.) as a consequence of the expansion of the large city. However, “this discovery changes the previous perception, Atzompa was not so similar to Monte Albán as it had been thought, instead it developed its own constructive methods, as was the case of the tombs and the palaces”, said Nelly Robles García, national coordinator of archaeology at INAH, also announcing that Aztompa would be soon open to the public. Dr. Robles García believes these sepulchers could have belonged to important characters, since this building is adjacent to the House of Altars, this must have been the resting place of the elite. It was only at the end of last April, during the Archaeological Proyect of Aztompa’s Collection of Historic Buildings, when archaeologists Eduardo García and Jaime Vera discovered the three tombs inside the 6th building of the oaxacan archaeological site, whose investigation –developed in 2007– was focused on deepening the knowledge about cultural and urban development in Monte Albán and Atzompa. Dr. Nelly Robles, director of the project, emphasized the “highly relevant importance of the find, because in all we know about Monte Albán and Oaxaca there had never been a similar case that concerned a building created to contain mortuary chambers, due to the characteristics of the murals and structural aspects that allow the support of these chambers.”

Earthquake rocks southern Mexico

Published July 24, 2012
| EFE
A magnitude-5.2 earthquake rocked southern Mexico early Tuesday, but there are no damage or injury reports, the U.S. Geological Survey, or USGS, said.
The quake's epicenter, which was located at a depth of 13.2 kilometers (8.2 miles), was 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) south-southeast of San Juan de Cacahuatepec, a town in Oaxaca state, and 24 kilometers (14.9 miles) north of Santiago Pinotepa Nacional, another town on the southern state's Pacific coast.
The earthquake occurred at 12:25 a.m, the USGS said.
Mexico's National Seismological Service confirmed the temblor on its Twitter and estimated the magnitude at 5.62.
The earthquake was felt in Mexico City, but officials have not reported any injuries or damage, media outlets said.
A magnitude-7.4 earthquake on March 20 killed two people in southern Mexico and was followed by dozens of strong aftershocks.
On April 2, a magnitude-6.0 earthquake rocked an area between the southern states of Guerrero and Oaxaca.
Mexico, one of the countries with the highest levels of seismic activity in the world, sits on the North American tectonic plate and is surrounded by three other plates in the Pacific: the Rivera microplate, at the mouth of the Gulf of California; the Pacific plate; and the Cocos plate.
That last tectonic plate stretches from Colima state south and has the potential to cause the most damage since it affects Mexico City, which has a population of 20 million and was constructed over what was once Lake Texcoco.
The magnitude-8.1 earthquake that hit Mexico City on Sept. 19, 1985, was the most destructive to ever hit Mexico, killing some 10,000 people, injuring more than 40,000 others and leaving 80,000 people homeless.
The most recent powerful quake to hit Mexico was a magnitude-7.6 temblor that rocked Colima on Jan. 21, 2003. EFE

ZICATELA PRO BACK ON

A noble effort to “Save Puerto” has been effective enough so far for organizers to commit to staging the event in late September.
IBA have confirmed that the campaign has secured enough base funding to stage a basic Men‚s GSS event.
The new dates are September 27th to October 6th.
IBA Tour manager Terry McKenna is ecstatic about the result and is looking forward to another epic event in Puerto Escondido.
“Last year was amazing” said McKenna
“At this point we have a bare-bones event confirmed but we need more support from the fraternity to include a webcast and some of the trimmings that we have come to expect from the existing GSS events”
Head of the IBA Gregg Taylor elaborates on the campaign.
“The primary purpose of the Salvemos Puerto campaign was to use the IBA event to provide a spark to the local economy in Puerto Escondido and this has been achieved, though further funding is required via the IBA Salvemos Puerto campaign to secure a global live webcast of the event to raise the awareness of ongoing challenges the Puerto Escondido community are facing and to bring the action to the screens of the global Bodyboarding community. Additional funding will also be used for the donation to the local lifeguards and Puerto Escondido community.” said Taylor.
Entry details for the event will be available soon.

Breakfast to help Piña Palmera after hurricane By Tony Richards on July 21, 2012



Breakfast to help Piña Palmera after hurricane

pinapalmera 300x225 Breakfast to help Piña Palmera after hurricane
Repairing the damage caused by Hurricane Carlotta
More than one month later and Piña Palmera is still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Carlotta. The centre for rehabilitation and support for people with disabilities — physical, mental and of mobility — is located near Pochutla in an area that was hit hard by the hurricane on June 15
For that reason, supporters of Piña Palmera in Puerto Escondido have organized an event for Sunday, July 29 at the Hotel Arcoiris, on Playa Zicatela. The event will include breakfast (the hotel is well known for its “breakfasts for a cause” which have sought support for Piña Palmera en recent years) with entertainment and more, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Representatives of Piña Palmera have estimated that it will take 12 to 15 weeks of intense work by at least 13 people to repair the damage of the hurricane. Ten of those would be in charge of rebuilding the roofs and clearing up the surrounding vegetation, while the other three would take on repairs to the rainwater catchment system.




Although the centre will receive some government funds, it is felt they won’t be sufficient. As well, the government support will provide them with laminate roofing, a product that the centre believes is unsuitable in the region due to its fragility and susceptibility to oxidation because of the humidity. It is also a product that transmits a lot of heat. The existing — and damaged — roofs of Piña Palmera are palapa, but the price of the palms has risen due to heavy demand brought on by the effects of the hurricane.
The centre has issued an urgent call for help from local communities, foundations and other funding sources for either financial support or the donation of materials.
“For Piña Palmera, the rapid reconstruction of its facilities will permit a return in as short a time as possible to its work in rehabilitation . . . . “ The centre works with about 500 people with disabilities.
The event on Sunday the 29th will include a breakfast buffet, awareness-raising videos, artesans, free admission to the hotel pool and live music by María Jimena. The cost of admission is $200; $150 for children.
