PUERTO ESCONDIDO AND STUFF

Our stay in Salina Cruz was short.  It was a very new hotel.  Very efficient and clean.   Our drive to Puerto Escondido was rather long because of the serpentine road and a few topes.  However we were here just a little after noon, checked in and Pete went for a swim.  I enjoyed sitting by the pool in the shade listening to the birds and watching them fly from palm tree to palm tree. We are at the Posada Real Puerto Escondido and we think it may be the place we stayed at 25 years ago. The town however is absolutely not the same in any way.  You just cant go back. 

Anyway the air is warm and a little humid.  We are close to the beach but it is down a cliff and seems far away although we can see it.  We drove into "town", there are plenty of restaurants and lots of people in the beach front area.  Too many for me today.  Maybe tomorrow early in the morning we will walk down and see what we can see.

We stopped at a restaurant "Paris" and had an early dinner as we have gotten used to eating only two meals a day.  I have to say that Mr. P looks great.  He has lost a bit of weight and has a light tan.   I on the other hand have only gotten more grey hair.  

So what we have fun.  On the way here we were joking about the fact that we are "undocumented" and will probably have self deport.  We hope that is all that happens but untill then we are "acting natural" whenever possible.  It is all a big mistake that WE MADE.  Not the first one in the 70or 80 years .  We are the old desperados continuing on our adventure. 

This evening is entirely worth being outlaws.  We are sitting here as the sun sets in the very mild and a bit humid air.  There is a very slight breeze.  Birds are chirping and making  pleasant noise.  People are sitting out near the edge of the property watching the sunset.  Children are quietly playing in the pool.  The restaurant behind us is readying for a late dinner.  Yep, it is so very pleasant.  We will remember this evening.
