In search of an ATM

Zipolite, Mexico
Paula and I went into the nearest town to get some cash from an ATM. I was down to coins having spent nearly all my money, including my emergency stash! Naughty!

Jungle boogie

Ziplote, Mexico
It was time to eat pizza, drink $1 Mezcal and dance in the local disco. So thats what we did. And after watching our new Australian friends embarrass themselves on the dance floor I was so glad I went for some salsa lessons.

Just a short stay on the beach

Zipolite, Mexico

The beach of Death

Puerto Escondido
