Day six in Puerto Escondido. It is a glorious sunny day with white caps dancing like so many diamonds atop crystal blue water gently rolling in to its own beat. The earthquake is still being talked about – but mostly forgotten.

There is a true night life here in Puerto. It seems to run in shifts; the last ending around 5 AM.

Rock Away – Puerto Escondido

Tonight we will attend a night of the Blues Festival series with Jackie Lomax and friends. A few nights ago we stopped at the Rock Away to listen to a quintessential local band (par excellence).

The Super Bowl was seen at many watering holes around Puerto; some of them were English broadcasts as well. We watched at the Split Coconut; where the Blues Festival venue is as well.

The Split CocoNut – Yes you can order from the pool at the bar.

There is a club called Casa Babylon that does not get going until 11 PM – we probably won’t make that.

Total relaxation comes in a lot of flavors. There are tamer things than going to the clubs like Sky Diving, SCUBA Diving, and Surfing etc. You can get a massage right at your recliner on the beach. I saw a bank of hammocks. I wondered whether the rental might include or have an option for someone to gently swing you.

Photo ops abound. I have shot 436 keepers since arriving in Oaxaca. The beauty of the area is almost overwhelming – any which way you look.

If there is snow where you are ENLARGE HERE!

There is no shortage of things to do in Puerto Escondido – day and night. Share our vacation – Stay Tuned!
