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.

NEXT CIRCUS FESTIVAL in Mazunte - 2017

Dear @ s teachers, artists, friends s,

We inform you that the next edition of the festival of circus in Mazunte be until 2017.


We took this decision after assessing Circus Mermejita this latest edition of the festival.

As you know this is an unfunded Festival by implying a great job by the organization and employees. Recent years, the Festival has grown so much work has increased and we feel we need some time to settle and rethink your organization.

We need to work more on integration and mutual respect-community festival. To this end we would like to start a community project to involve more people in this circus activities in order that the circus is part of the community that people value it as something you and not as something external.

Another point that brings us to this decision, is to have the time to rewrite the project, with the aim of presenting it to calls for grants and to make the festival a good infrastructure.

We will inform you of the call to submit your work for the 2017 edition, dated and material we need.
As always we open the mail to arrive us suggestions, comments and others that can help us to improve this project.

Thank you for participating and for the support.

GREETINGS MERMEJIT L @ S @ S

Great Gildersleeve Serviceman For Thanksgiving

Jack Benny Cooked The Turkey



My Spanish Notes - Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias - Happy Thanksgiving

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 09:20 AM PST

If you want to tell your Spanish speaking friends Happy Thanksgiving, then this is the phrase you want:

Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias
Happy Thanksgiving

That's all fine and dandy, but it gets old and it's not very much fun.  Lucky for you there are a few other ways to say it that might impress your Spanish friends.

But before we get to those, let's talk about a few words you may not be familiar with.  The first one is pavo.

Here's a pavo:


That's right, it's a turkey.  And unlike with fish, pavo is the same word for seeing one in the wild and eating it on your plate.

Como preparar un sandwich de pavo
How to make a turkey sandwhich

That piece of information is probably not a big surprise, I'm sure many of you already know the word pavo.  But you may be surprised to hear that pavo isn't the only word for turkey.

In Mexico a pavo is also called guajolote.  In Guatemala it's a chompipe.  Cuba?  guanajo.  There are probably even more words for turkey, but I think you get point.

So what does any of that have to do with Thanksgiving you ask?

I'm sure nearly all of my American readers know have heard the phrase "Happy Turkey Day".  Well with your new found Spanish vocabulary for turkey you can now say the equivalent in Spanish.

Felíz día del pavo
Happy Turkey Day

That's pretty generic and should be understood anywhere.  Now if you want to impress your Mexican friends, you can say:

Feliz Día del Guajolote

Got Guatemalan friends?  Wish them Happy Thanksgiving with this:

Feliz Día de Chompipe

Well, that's it for today!  Except for one last thing:



¡Chao!

If you don't know what a regla is, it's a ruler.  But that's not the only definition of regla, nor is it the definition we're here to talk about.

When you hear someone refer to la regla, it's a way of referring to the menstruation cycle, or el ciclo menstrual.  You can also say periodo menstrual.

La regla me vino por primera vez con 15
My period came for the first time when I was 15

No me viene la regla
My period didn't come

But just like in English, there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Estoy en mis días
I'm on my period

Ando en mis días
I'm on my period

Está con la regla
She's on her period

 I'm on my period, don't talk to me

When it comes to talking about when "la regla" did or didn't arrive, you can use the verb venir like the examples above but there's also another very common option using the verb bajar.

No me baja
My period didn't start

Me bajó hace una semana
My period started a week ago


Me debía de haber bajado desde el día 21
My period should have started on the 21st


If you have 52 seconds, want to practice your listening skills and want a good laugh, then this video is for you.  Be sure to listen for the phrases we just talked about.




That's it for today!  I hope you all learned something and got a good laugh from the video.

¡Hasta la próxima!
