After a month spent in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, it was time to hit the road and so we did.
There's a time to stay and a time to move on...
We decided to check out some Chiapas beaches. The information we had was cryptic at best... usually a good sign (means that most people don't go there...)
First we headed down to the beaches near the little-known Reserva de la Encrucijada which is a beautiful & wild area of the south Mexican Pacific. Lots of birds, crocodiles, mangroves... and miles of wild Pacific.
How great to be back at the Pacific Ocean... reminds me of home!
Here's the view from our $25 per night beachfront cabaña.
And here is an interesting character we met just down from the Reserva Encrucijada. The locals call him / her anda solo. Shy but curious.
Then further up the Chiapas coast to Boca del Cielo where we got FREE oceanfront camping under a palapa (provided we ate in the restaurant of the folks who erected the palapa...) Here's our spot.
Gotta wash the sand off us!
We left there today and are now headed up to the more touristy Oaxaca beaches...
Yes indeed, there is a time to stay.... and a time to go.....
