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.

How to watch next week's spectacular "super flower blood moon" lunar eclipse

How to watch next week's spectacular "super flower blood moon" lunar eclipse

The most spectacular full moon of 2021 is quickly approaching, gracing the night sky in all its glory on May 26. That date marks not just a supermoon, but also a blood moon, thanks to a lunar eclipse.


According to NASA, a blood moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse, when the Earth is positioned directly between the moon and the sun, hiding the moon from sunlight. It's named for its red glow. 


"When this happens, the only light that reaches the moon's surface is from the edges of the Earth's atmosphere," the space agency explains. "The air molecules from Earth's atmosphere scatter out most of the blue light. The remaining light reflects onto the moon's surface with a red glow, making the moon appear red in the night sky."



NASA says the result will be a "ring of light" around the moon. 


"Just how red it will look is hard to predict, but dust in the atmosphere can have an effect. (And keep in mind there have been a couple of prominent volcanic eruptions recently)," NASA said. 


Not only does May bring a lunar eclipse, but also the year's best supermoon. A supermoon occurs when the moon appears larger than usual in the night sky because it is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, known as perigee.

May's full supermoon is known as the "Flower Moon," and it marks the second of three supermoons this year. It's appropriately named for the abundance of flowers associated with spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

How to watch 

On Wednesday, May 26, the cosmic phenomenon will be at least partly visible anywhere on the night side of the planet, NASA said. Under clear weather conditions, skywatchers around the world will be able to enjoy the show. 


This includes parts of Asia and Australia, as well as much of the US and South America. For skywatchers in the US, the best viewing will be in Hawaii, Alaska, and the western states, though the eclipse is partially visible further East during dawn twilight. And if you're in the US you should wake up early to see the rare celestial event. 


According to NASA, the peak of the eclipse will last for about 14 minutes, but the entire event will last about five hours, from 08:47:39 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) to 13:49:41 UTC. It will peak at 11:19:52 UTC. 


This means that In Asia, the eclipse occurs in the early evening when the moon first rises, while on the west coast of the Americas, it occurs in the early morning hours, when the moon is setting. 


Solar eclipses should never be viewed with the naked eye, but lunar eclipses are completely safe to look at. 


Don't worry if you're not located in the best place to spot the eclipse. The Virtual Telescope Project will have a live feed of the entire event, starting at 3 am PT on May 26.

Niurka did not earn the nickname of the scandal woman for nothing and this Tuesday, May 18 on the First Hand program, she surprised everyone by taking off her blouse and showing her breasts exposed.

The 53-year-old star appeared in a live interview on Zoom on the show and everything was going as usual. However, the driver Gustavo Adolfo Infante asked him about the photographs he has been uploading to Instagram about his trip to Zipolite, Oaxaca. In them she is completely topless but she put a "Censored" label on her breasts so that Instagram would not erase the images.

It seems that the questioning, however, gave the Cuban the idea of ​​exposing her breasts on national television, since being live they could not censor her, and they did. Niurka Marcos waited until the end of the interview and while saying goodbye, she exclaimed, "I want to tell you that I love you very much, come to Zipolite, it is a wonderful thing." And before finishing wonderful she took off her blouse quickly.

The screams of the conductors can be heard at the end of the video, because although production quickly cut the call in Zoom, the attributes of the dancer, actress and singer had already been shown to millions of viewers.

Thus, Niruka became a trend in social networks and the video continues to spread. Many are amused and praising the Cuban for being so daring and for not caring what they say about her or what they can fine the program. Others, however, wish they had not seen the video and feel "attacked" having seen it without knowing what to expect. Some more just praise their breasts.
