Zipolite, Pacific Coast, Mexico
Plenty of clouds this morning! Lightning flashes for quite a while last night, but no rain here. Looked like it was to the east.
Moving on in the morning. Going to check out one last beach area: Huatulco. The Mexican tourism board designated, and began development of, this area for tourism ( same as Los Cabos, Cancun, and others). Don't know if I'll be able to afford to stay anywhere nearby: I'm running right up against their busiest time - Christmas. Did a little research yesterday and found some reasonable room prices. Need to go to Pochutla first: need money and drugs (doesn't everybody down here?)
Electricity died at 8am. Didn't get it back 'til 5pm.
No internet - read all day. Finished another story. When I got the internet back, I went shopping for free kindle books. I'm set for a little while now.
I mentioned that the surf was loud here: sometimes like the rumble of thunder, even as loud as a jet engine. I like having my door open all the time, even at night, though sometimes the surf will wake me. Found that shutting my door and window shuts out about 90% of the sound: pretty good doors and windows!
Sunset was okay. Nothing too exciting.
Blog's done. Start a new book. Go to bed.
