Mexico es Sucio


bus ride in sarah almost puked but pretty entertaining experience. We were only gringos on the bus both ways

wipe out. of course no pics of me getting up

little waves but still lots of angry locals that don't like gringos that suck at surfing


fishing was pretty mediocre but caught some small jacks

We had a great trip. Sayulitas is a pretty small and remote town so we felt like we were being pretty adventurous travelers. The bus ride to get there cost us 2 bucks and was sketchy to say the least but entertaining. There were plenty of tourists around but no resorts or annoying spring breakers.

I would have to say the food was the highlight. We had some spectacular meals with really fresh seafood and vegetables without ever paying more than about 15 bucks. One night we had dinner in this ladies kitchen with all her children running around and screaming. I wish we got a picture of the outhouse because it was just a 3 sided cinder block structure that left you exposed to all the women and children in the kitchen while you used it. Despite the atmoshphere the food was authentic and delicious. Sarah got the chicken poloze and I had fried shrimp tacos.

The surfing, fishing, and beaches were all pretty disappointing, but we still had a lot of fun. Parts of the town and beach were pretty trashy and smelly. There were lots of stray dogs around that were either begging for food or using the beach as their toilet which got pretty annoying. Like I said we had fun but think we have checked Sayulitas off the list for awhile.

you should think about writing travel brochures --- where did you wash you hands after using the outhouse, or is that part of the "authentic" appeal?
