Life In Puerto Escondido



As expected, there isn't very much to report after our first week in Puerto Escondido.  Life here is very relaxed, partially a result of the warm weather but more so the pace of our daily activities.

We are up and out of our Zandoyo Bed and Breakfast, walking at 7:15 each morning.  For those that know us (me) the early rise is maybe a surprise but the use of the alarm clock is necessary if one wants to enjoy an hour and a half walk before the temperature creeps closer to 28 degrees.


Our Walks Always Have Interesting Sights









We time our walks to coincide with our served breakfast at 9 am each day.  The food has been fabulous and filling.  Each day brings a new Mexican American fusion dish surprise, complimented by fresh orange juice, sliced fruit, and coffee.  Inez, our cook, is even going to put on a special cooking lesson and treat us to an authentic Mexican evening meal.

Breakfast is usually followed by pool time and reading all the electronic news from back home.  I especially like to check the weather report to see what form of cold wet stuff I am missing.  After reading about snow storms I like to roll into the pool.








Sometime after noon, we go looking for lunch.  Something great can usually be found in a three-block radius walk from home.



The rest of the afternoon is usually spent with beach time or a return to napping, reading, playing games at the pool.

We have made a list of all the restaurants we want to visit for evening meals.  Our experience is that there are so many great places to choose from that you will miss out on many if you are not organized during your two weeks stay.

Dinner At Sister Rita's Rooftop Palapa





The evening often ends with a visit to listen to live music.  We have been fortunate that there are many exceptionally talented musicians in town and many jam nights end up being quite spectacular.

After a few drinks and a pleasant earful, the evenings draw to a close and we are off to bed (maybe a Netflix quick fix) and a repeat the next day.
