Random Photo Selection

Alright, today we bought a cable to transfer photos. Digging through I had a hard time choosing some to post. So here is a small selection to start with.

Mari and I at Monte Alban. Elevated on the hillside above everything around us, we had a great surrounding view of the valleys surrounding us. The weather was beautiful with only a slight scattering of clouds here and there.


Puerto Escondido just before sun set. I love the palm leaf roofs they build here. They are all over the place, and are at least a foot and a half thick. Personally, I havent seen any rain in our stay, but I really want to know how well they work in a torrential downpour.


One night on Puerto Escondido, right around sun set, they brought sea turtles from a hatchery for release back into the Pacific Ocean. Each of us were able to grab our own little turtle, name them, and release them to grow and flourish out at sea. This is Mari releasing her little guy on the beach roughly a meter or two from the surf. We then sat back and watched them walk into water and disappear from sight.


When we were staying in Zipolite we took a day trip to see the town and beach next door named Muzunte. As we were returning from the beach and heading back into town, we ran across this young boy pushing his brother and sister down the street in a home made skate board. As you can see, its the front half of a surf board on wheels. What you cant see, is the home made license plate attached to the front of the crate. Colored in crayon, it had the proper numbers and digits like a proper vehicle plate, set on a green white and red colored background of the mexican flag. It was quite cute. Mari couldnt resist.
