Erin Arrives – Off we go to Huatulco!

Our dear friend Erin arrived today from Toronto. (She's the blond getting off the plane, thinking Ralph and I have tarmac clearence seeing as we basically go to the airport once every few weeks.) She is happy about the warmth, and the sun, and by not wearing a coat, and of course being here with us, obviously. She is enchanted by the view from our patio, by the Alcala, a pedestrian street right through the centre of town. She loves the square, the zocalo, and we sit and have dinner at one of the better spots to people watch and have dinner and be hustled by merchants. I think she smiled the whole time, even in between devouring her shrimp cocktail. Erin was busy with Claire’s wedding, so Ralph and I thought we’d give her a bit of a break when she first arrived and go flake on a beach in Huatulco, we’ve not been here before. Huatulco is supposed to be Mexico’s “recovery” from the disastrous Acapulco. Of course, we have a Bay boat trip, snorkeling, coffee plantation tour and jungle hike planned for the 4 days we will be there. Lots of time to flake on the beach! Stay tuned for Erin’s Adventures in Oaxaca…
