Puerto Escondido
I arrived in Puerto Escondido this evening about 8:00 and checked into the Mayflower hotel, a short walk from the bus station and right on the edge of the tourist district. A fact mitigated by it’s 230 peso per night rate.
I haven’t explored much yet; but, so far, it seems like a nice place. I will, of course, report in more detail upon my return home and when I have had my photos developed.
I can report, though, there is a fellow staying here from Vancouver, B.C., not far from where I lived most of my life in Washington state.
And to top that fact, there is another fellow staying here who lives in Seattle, works under contract for Microsoft, and until recently lived in Olympia, WA, the city of my birth.
Even more amazing, he used to own land in Matlock, a few miles from where I spent the last 30 years preceeding my expatriation
The encounter brings to mind my 2000 Dalmatia trip during which I ran into 7 gringos, five of whom were from WA state, 3 from Olympia.
Please keep in mind I am posting with my phone, and exercise understanding patience with editorial problems.
