Yes. Sadly...this image depicts us on Friday. The first of our two full days in Hualtulco. It was a fun day, but hard for two reason. 1) As you can see, it was raining. Hurricane threats. Dangerous beaches. Sad day. BUT....we went to a safer beach and had Pina Coladas. 2) We were exhausted. I though a bus ride from 11 pm Thurs til 630 am Friday would be perfect and leave us refreshed and ready to roar when we got there! But n
o. Traveling is a lot harder on the body than that. Especially through windy mountain roads with crazy bus drivers!
Jenny, Lucy, and Erin on our horseback tour on Saturday....here we are almost to the beach (!) where we got to run with the horses. It was amazing. Galloping in the sand on a gorgeous deserted beach then getting off to play in the waves and sunshine. Epic.
Here's some hoof prints in the background.....so beautiful.
After our ride and right before we got in the water. It felt amazing. PS....they have really cool crabs here....they have longer legs or something and they can run across the sand like lightning!
The rest of day two we went to another beach were an old indigenous women rubbed mud on everyone and we let it dry before rinsing it off in the ocean with some really fun body surfing. (mud bath?) After home and cooking our dinner, we spent our last night at a dance club called, "the igloo." It was interesting, though more local than the Texan place we went to the night before called "The Tipsy Blowfish." The Igloo was alllll white with smoke and light up squares on the dance floor and American music. The waiter made me a rose out of toilet paper and told me I was beautiful. Ah to be a gringa in Mexico lol.
Sunday we spent 8.5 hours on the bus. But now Oaxaca! Home! yay (=
It was a good weekend. (=
Sooo glad you made it to Nine Bays.. It is one of my favorite new spots in Mexico. Hard to get to though. Big money and big resorts will soon pop up there, but I hope they can keep some of the bays off limits. Stay healthy, chew your Tums, and let us know about Dia de los muertos down there.
