Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca

December 19, 2008

Puerto is a town for surfers and everyone else. There are great waves to watch and ride for beginners and advanced surfers. This is a tourist town with a solid and beautiful Mexican atmosphere. We found it a great place to hang out for a couple of weeks.

We wanted to hold any traveling during Christmas and luckily we landed a cozy apt until 12/29. The owner of the hotel we stayed upon our arrival directed us to his friend who had this apt open until the end of December. It has a beach view, wireless internet, and satellite TV w/business channels and is within walking distance of el centro, which has a great veggie market, a gym, restaurants and anything else we may need. Plus, our temporary landlord is an avid tennis player also.

Apt has complete kitchen (with gas stove and oven)and fully furnished.

I, fortunately, was invited to play doubles with their group who then introduced me to a very good female singles player…does it get any better? Now, after a few days I’ve been playing mixed doubles and have a very good singles player to compete against….other than Bruce…..who, surprisingly, will join us for mixed doubles at some point. He may actually socialize as well!
