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.ivan

Las Posadas Mexico’s Christmas Tradition
The EYE blogs > Las Posadas Mexico’s Christmas Tradition
By Neal Erickson
Posada in Spanish can mean inn, lodging, shelter, boardinghouse, home, etc., depending on
context. Traditionally in old Mexico, when people were traveling, at the end of the day they
would seek a place to spend the night out of the elements. When no inns or hotels were
available, travelers would seek “posada” in private homes, asking for their hospitality and
kindness and sometimes receiving a meal with the resident family. Often they simply slept
on the floor. As the population became converted to the Roman Catholic faith by the Spanish
Conquistadors, a tradition developed based upon the Biblical story of Joseph and Mary
arriving in Bethlehem on the eve of Jesus Christ’s birth.

arriving in Bethlehem on the eve of Jesus Christ’s birth.
In neighborhoods (barrios, colonias) across Mexico, beginning on the 16th of December
you will find groups of friends participating in the tradition of “La Posada”. Each night for
nine nights, a different home is selected as the “Inn” for that evening, and the other participating
members of this group gather at another place and proceed through the streets to the
selected “Inn”. Sometimes they are carrying images of Joseph and Mary, and other times
they have two of their members dressed in costumes representing them. The hosts have
prepared their home for that night’s gathering, usually making tamales, ponche, atole and
other food and refreshments for the participants, a piñata with candy for the children, and
other festive decorations.

The “travelers,” representing Joseph and Mary seeking a place to spend the night, begin to
sing outside the chosen host home. The traditional song has twelve verses that are sung back
and forth in a question/response format between the people outside and the people inside,
plus a final verse they all sing together as the travelers are finally invited into the host home.
The English translation is available online here:

It is said that the nine nights of Posada represent the nine months that Mary carried
Jesus in her womb, and also represents the nine days she and Joseph traveled to get
to Bethlehem. The final night of Las Posadas is Christmas Eve, referred to in Mexico as
Nochebuena.

Hike to a Lake in the Crater of a Volcano in Guatemala
Posted by TC
Thanks to Immersion Travel for publishing my article Chicabal Lake Volcano: Grassroots Ecology in Guatemala.
Wailing voices echo across the lake to where I sit on a bench, breaking open rambutans, small fruit the size of golf balls with hairy red peels. Three women bow down at the shore as they sing and pray, wearing the multicolored, woven dresses of Guatemalan Mayans. A man in jeans sits behind them and two small children quietly play. From about 50 yards away, I’m close enough to see, but I hope not close enough to be intrusive.
