From Huatulco where the tourist population is reputed to be 80% Mexican to Zipolite where over half the toursits are "whities" like us--what a difference.
In Huatulco, The Mexicans are so friendly with "hola" , smiles and waves coming from most of them to Zipolite where it is rare to get any sort of smile or eye contact from the Canadians, Europeans or Americans. It is obviously a cultural thing, but the Mexicans make you feel much more at ease in a matter of minutes if you are able to overcome the language predicament. Even with the language block, Mexicans make every effort to try to help you. My Google translator app has helped us immensely-- to the point where my Spanish has started to evolve in my own unique way!
Sunrise this morning was spectacular, as usual.
We decided to extend our stay here another day--our camp spot, restaurant, sand and water was too nice to hurry ourselves.
