Puerto Escondido, Mexico: December 27-Jan 2, 2018
With the Night of the Radish tour finished, we flew to Puerto Escondido on the Pacific coast of the state of Oaxaca. The evenings were in the 70s and the daytime temperatures were in the high 80s. Perfect weather for the beach.
In Puerto, mostly we relaxed, took siestas, and went to the beach. We both arrived with colds. My cold was acquired from Dan. My body fought it is much as it could but after 10 days in Oaxaca, my body threw in the towel and I got sick.
We took Gina The Information Goddess' Saturday walking tour of Puerto. We began with breakfast of tortillas, nopals, and beans at a small cafe on the Playa Principal where fishermen sell their catch and where most local people hang out.

The walk took us into Puerto's market where Gina introduced us to many previously unknown food items such as crisp tortillas baked with cinnamon and a little sugar.

We got home late on Jan 2, 2018, and except for Dan's germs, we had a very good vacation in Oaxaca.
Beautiful, Ceil. Glad you were able to enjoy yourself despite being ill.
