We arrived yesterday at the lovely tiny little Chacala beach community. It is a sweet slightly "off the beaten track" place with some hotels, posadas, beach restaurants and a lovely deep blue sea. The internet is terrible so I am writing this on our balcony while listening to the surf come in and hoping I don't lose the net.
We lucked out with Casa Chapala, run by a lovely family and on the hillside with a great view of fishing boats, this charming little bay.
Mexican maps are as bad as their GPS system (which has you in the Pacific Ocean) when you are driving along the autopista!! Technology is not their claim to fame. But I managed to navigate using maps and people, enjoying the fact that now folks understand my bad Spanish and I usually understand their replies.
We used the "Quota" road ( toll road ) which made the driving easy most of the way. When we turned off we were on a lovely rural road above the coast. Tree branches arched over the roadway with beautiful yellow flowers (sort of like Hibiscus). The land was pastoral with friendly cows, farms, agava plants and mountains in the distance. It was so nice to see green again. Jocotepec has no rain during winter. Though their are many tropical flowers the mountains are not green until their rainy season (which we have never seen, it starts in June).
Ivan is happy here by the sea. We are dining on our balcony. We hope to swim but the sea is a bit wild which is unusual, it is also cooler here. The weather is very similar to Roca Azul. Cool at night and in the morning and pleasantly warm by day.
Warm greetings to all.
Evi y Ivan
I will chance posting this and hope to edit it once back at Roca. We may stay here longer than our planned 3 days.
