It has been some time since our last blog. Don't fret we still miss everyone. Getting simple amenities like power and water are becoming more and more challenging, not to mention internet.
Since leaving our great spot in Zihuatanejo we have traveled several hundred more miles down the coast. Stopping first in Acapulco. That is one crazy place. We of course headed for the world famous cliff diving show (just like our honeymoon). This time we went all out and enjoyed dinner on the cliff side. We saw a man light himself on fire then dive over a hundred feet in the complete darkness. Really cool!
After leaving there we stopped at a couple of small coastal towns. They were mostly surf towns. Really quiet and laid back, but not we had to keep moving down the line. We decided to head inland and visit the city of Oaxaca. Quite a journey to get here over a huge mountain, 8000 ft plus at a mind blowing speed of 15mph. It took us so long we ended up searching for our destination in the dark, highly recommend not trying that. But we made it and we are once again tucked away in a randomly placed trailer park.
The town huge! We braved another attempt at public transportation by venturing out to the famous Monte Alban ruins. What an amazing site. It is a very large area with many "temples" scattered on a platue. The best we can tell, they were all used for sacarificing. Apparently the Zapotec's were quite friendly. This is the first of many archelogical sites we will see as we head towards the Yucatan.
Until next time, adios.
