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.

Where to Find the Fastest Wi-Fi on the Road

Posted by Dara Continenza on Wednesday, July 30, 2014


If you've got a need for (Internet) speed, a new report from Wefi can tell you which
 airports, hotel chains, and even beaches are best when it comes to connectivity.
The company, which collects and measures mobile data, tracked 45 million hot spots
 from April 1 to June 15, 2014. What they found was that the biggest and most popular 
destinations often don't crack the top 10.
Leading the pack of airports, Detroit wins for fastest Wi-Fi, with an average speed of
 4.63 mbps. (This writer can attest to the decent Internet speeds at Detroit Metro, for 
she once spent an entire eight-hour delay there successfully streaming Friday Night 
Lights.) The Red Roof Inns chain tops the hotel category, with an average speed of 
4.34 mbps. And, for beach seekers who like to pack a laptop (who are you?), C
learwater Beach, Florida, is your hot spot in the sun (although beachside Wi-Fi 
speeds are low across the board).
Here is the complete list of airports, hotels, and beaches with the fastest Wi-Fi.
