October 25, 2008 La Ticla

La Ticla is a tiny town with lots of gringos due to the decent breaks at the playa. Ricardo went out when we got here this morning after spending the night free camping on the beach at Ojo de Agua. Today at La Ticla we are paying $5/person7night - not bad. I´m sidelined beachside with the cold Ricardo had a few days ago and a pinched nerve in my right shoulder from paddling Betty (aka long board) at Sayulita a few days ago. We´ve definately sweated our body weight and more in the past few days the mainland is a lot hotter than the Baja. Driving down Mex 200 is nice the hwy is narrow but lined with lots of green shrubs and beautiful flowers. The plan is that we keep heading south looking towards Puerto Escondito and Huatulco area before leaving Mexico for Guatemala.
