Down to the Coast











After a harrowing departure from Oaxaca, we finally found the right road out of the city to Puerto Angel and began our journey to the coast. We thought we left early enough to avoid the morning commute traffic. Not so!
The average speed on the winding road to the coast was 25 miles per hour. The rolling water jug made guacamole out of the two avocados on the camper floor as we motored along! We thought about just opening a couple of cans of cerbeza and bringing out the chips when we pulled into the Los Mangos RV Park and discovered the mess!
Puerto Angel is a small surfing – resort area with a beautiful bay. We spent a couple of days resting up and preparing for the next leg of the journey up the coast. We visited the turtle museum and learned a lot about the local efforts to support the turtle nesting beaches in the area.

A few other interesting animals we encountered were the tarantula in the men's shower room (!)and the handsome rooster who srutted around the camp ground.
