Surf Lessons at La Punta

These are a few snapshots I took while watching a recent surf lesson of Julio’s at La Punta in Puerto Escondido.  The photos are not the best quality from our little point and shoot camera, but our students looked great (blue and red rash guards), and certainly had a fun day out there!  Pulgas the Puppy helped coach from shore.

A great review to add some sunshine to this overcast afternoon!

Surf Review From TripAdvisor:

“Great Teacher (Buen Maestro)!!”

12/01/13
“I went to Puerto escondido and had Julio Soto for my instructor for my first surf lesson, he had me taking waves on my second try! He is a great teacher with the correct approach to teaching something new. I was a teacher myself and I wouldn’t ask for anything more in the lesson. Don’t forget to stop by his store and check out his personal art, Great guy, ask for Julio!”
Thanks for the review!  We hope to see you back in Puerto in the future 🙂

From TripAdvisor:
“I was at Puerto Escondido for a few days in mid October, and definitely surf classes with Zicazteca are a MOST! Great experience, even greater teachers. An awesome way to spend a few quality hours in Puerto Escondido and have a lot of fun!”

Dia de los Muertos

I adore the colors and traditions this time of year.   Last year we cleaned and decorated the tombs of Julio’s grandparents with candles, flowers and a few of their favorite items (including a slingshot and a handful of limes for his grandfather, who famously would sit on his porch and shoot the limes at passersby who dared take the shortcut through his property!) and plan on doing the same this year.  Our home is already dripping in flowers, and I would love to have the time this year to make an elaborate altar somewhere.  Certainly there will be many more photos to come as the market fills with flowers and sugar skulls.   Such a delight for the senses!!!
