For the past 5 days, I have been kickin' it in Puerto Escondido. The people are super sweet, the sun is always out, and the waves are perfect. It has been wonderfully relaxing. Even though I will leave this beachtown with 47 mosquito bites and a tomato-red sunburn, I have enjoyed my stay for a couple of reasons:
1) Fish! Last night I enjoyed a tasty fillet Mexican-style. It included chile, tomato, and onion (for the Mexican flag colors).
2) Our hostel. It looks likes it's straight out of the movie "Hook" with Robin Williams! It includes a bowling pin shaped pool, a bar that blasts beachy tunes every night, a ping pong table, and countless tucked away rooms with mismatched furniture.
3) #274 on my bucket list: I rode on the back of a motorcycle! The owner of the hostel, Steve, is an old English bloke who plays soccer by the beach every night. A couple of us took the city bus in that direction with him. On the way back, to save me from paying the 5 pesos, he offered me a ride. Thus him, his black lab, and I enjoyed the 10 minute drive back on his sputtering motorcycle. Woo!
