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.

Messico: Zipolite la spiaggia dove il tempo si é fermato

Messico: Zipolite la spiaggia dove il tempo si é fermato

E’ conosciuta come la spiaggia della morte ma a dispetto del nome è un luogo dove la natura incontaminata offre uno scenario altamente suggestivo. E’ il litorale di Zipolite, considerata una delle più interessanti mete di tutto il Messico, luogo tranquillo dove intorno alla spiaggia non sono presenti grandi alberghi quanto piuttosto campeggi e piccoli locale come trattorie e ristorantini tipici, per gli amanti della tranquillità e del vero relax. Qui potrete sentirvi davvero in pace, sorseggiando michelada,raccogliendo qualche conchiglia o giocando a biliardo prima di andare a dormire.
La spiaggia è davvero splendida e suggestiva, apprezzata non solo dai turisti ma anche e soprattutto dagli appassionati di surf e windsurf; infatti le acque dell’Atlantico, in questa zona le onde sono davvero poderose: questo perchè il tratto di costa si trova a poca distanza dalla fossa oceanica e dunque è caratterizzato da forti correnti che spingono verso il largo. La spiaggia è caratterizzata da una striscia di sabbia finissima, un tempo nota come la spiaggia hippie perchè frequentata dai giovani che qui si ritrovavano, negli anni ’70, per consumare stupefacenti.
messico-zipolite
Potrete frequentarla non solo durante l’estate ma anche in bassa stagione, tra ottobre e novembre, grazie alle temperature sempre piuttosto elevate con la colonnina di mercurio che arriva a sfiorare i 30 gradi. Se durante l’estate il paese si riempie di turisti, nei mesi seguenti il paese si svuota e rimane particolarmente tranquillo, ideale per chi non vuole far altro che rilassarsi e assaggiare piatti tipici nei numerosi ristorantini locali. Da Zipolite potrete inoltre partire alla volta della Laguna della Ventanillae del Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga a Mazunte, due visite da non lasciarsi scappare durante la vostra vacanza nel caldo Messico.

Vance a Potential Heavy Rain Threat to Mexico By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:29 PM GMT on November 01, 2014

Vance a Potential Heavy Rain Threat to Mexico

Satellite images show that Tropical Storm Vance has an expanding area of heavy thunderstorms that have improved in organization since Friday. Vance is over warm waters with low wind shear, so intensification into a Category 1 hurricane by Sunday is a good bet, but the storm's heaviest rains will remain well offshore from Mexico through Sunday. Vance will get pulled to the northeast by a trough of low pressure on Monday, but might not make it all the way to Mexico. The 8 am EDT Saturday run of theSHIPS model predicted that wind shear would remain low, 5 - 10 knots, though Monday, then ramp up significantly on Monday night and Tuesday as Vance gets caught up in the trough of low pressure that will sling it towerds Mexico. The higher wind shear will likely be able to tear Vance apart before landfall, making heavy rain the primary threat. In their 11 am EDT Saturday Wind Probability Forecast, NHC gave a 7 - 11% chance that Vance would bring tropical storm-force winds of 39+ mph to Puerto Vallarta and the tip of the Baja Peninsula. The 06Z Saturday run of the GFDL model predicted that Vance's moisture would bring a swath of heavy rains of 4 - 8" from just northwest of Puerto Vallarta into Texas, Tuesday night into Wednesday.

Tropical Storm Nuri may brush Japan
In the Western Pacific, Tropical Storm Nuri is near typhoon strength, and is headed towards Japan. Nuri may pass close enough to Japan on Thursday to bring them heavy rain, but a direct hit appears unlikely. 

Quiet in the Atlantic
The Atlantic is quiet today, with no areas of concern to discuss. None of the three reliable models for predicting tropical cyclone genesis predicts any development in the Atlantic over the next five days. With November at hand and El Niño-like atmospheric conditions in place, the odds of getting Tropical Storm Isaias before the end of the Atlantic hurricane season on November 30 are probably around 30%.

On the Horizon: Reclining Seats at Takeoff? October 28, 2014 1:06 pm by Dara Continenza

On the Horizon: Reclining Seats at Takeoff?
Every so often, we hear about a trend in air travel that makes us delirious with rage: windowless airplanesbackless seatsfees to print boarding passes. But today brings a trend we can totally get behind (or on top of): reclining at takeoff and landing. 
Australian airline Qantas is in the final stages of introducing a new business-class seat that reclines from takeoff to touchdown. Passengers would be able to board the plane, immediately recline their seats, and start napping—no more waiting for an OK from the flight deck, and no more rude awakening when the flight attendant says, "Please return your seat to the upright position."

The new seats will have an over-the-shoulder belt that must be in place for takeoff and landing. The new seatbelts would click into the already-existing lap belt system. Seats can't be reclined fully flat until the plane reaches level flight, but 5- to 7-inch recline is available during taxiing, takeoff, and landing, with the lie-flat capability during the rest of the flight. 
Currently, Qantas is seeking approval for the new seats for their Airbus A330 aircraft. The last few stages include some regulatory approval, but it looks like this service is set for an early 2015 debut. This comes as Qantas refreshes all A330s, including adding new Panasonic seatback entertainment systems throughout business and economy cabins as well as a refurb for all economy seats (so us peasants don't feel left out). 
Assuming all goes well, we imagine that other airlines, especially those with long-haul flights, may want to jump into the gate-to-gate recline market. It's a fairly inexpensive way to add some comfort to cramped aircraft cabins, and airlines are forever wooing premium-class flyers with small add-ons. Count among those add-ons a decent night's sleep.
Readers, would you like to fall asleep the minute you reach your seat?
