The cap and I
at 200 kim per hour we crossed the valley of darkness to enter the land of angels and seafood. manuel was the captain to the torpedo. Ok, so we leave oaxaca with with a smile and start our (more than adventurous) journey to the darkness of the world, gods blindspot... chiapas!
First day at salina cruz was terrible, a city invaded by a port. i couldnt be asked to take pictures because it was just such a horrible place. we stayed in the most cranky house in town and just ran out of there the next day. we were travelling south through the coasts of oaxaca when we decide to take a little detour to sleep at the beach. we spot a random place in the map and direct our asses towards the unknown. (piano comes in, followed by the organ)... this place was called "boca del cielo". (piano stops, quick silence and angle opens)
As our two heroes drive a view opens to reveal the island of the angels. The moment got spoiled by no parking, and an 80 pesos crazy fare to cross to the other side and the odd drunk screaming some religious stuff i could never start to understand. so we cross with hopes of staying in the palapa (wodden house in te beach) of some spanish girl, but it was
heroes
this is how heroes look when they rest. look and learn guys, coz there coming back! full. Manuel, the captain of the boat tels us he can rent us his house for 100 pesos. so we ended up staying there, with his family. They were really cool people, fisherman family with a little restaurant run by the mama. In a kitchen as dirty as hells bathrooms the most incredible seafood was prepared. God exists, and he chills at boca del cielo, with his homeboy jesus.
anyway, we were naked at the beach all day because there were like 10 people in 3 km of beach, and managed to burn our asses as if we had a bathroom made of burning charcoal. Still went naked to the beach to finish it off.
3 days of nothing to do ends up boaring anybody (except the odd hippie, yes, you, hippies eat that) so we decided to leave manuels family and continue to the next beach... different story.
