Acapulco
This is late, i really should have posted this one before, but I am very much in this state of mind....where I.....don't really....do much.......at all.... So Anyways
WACKAPULCO
Missed the bus in the morning, had to head over to Estrella de Oro bus line and grab a bus myself. So, after a nice herbal session, and a tremendously large breakfast, I headed to Acapulco
Arrived at about 3pm, and immediately devoured the most amazing plate of fish tacos in the world! Fuck why does cheese have to be so terrible for you.
Went to the beach for a quick walk, and now see why they call it "The Dirty Beach". It is absolutely disgusting. garbage all along the sand that washes in from the waves, someone needs to do something about their sewage problem.
- Had a good session with Larry and Annah, then went on to just stare at the sky for quite some time (insert surfer EPIC here)
Went to the nightclub Palladium! i was unapologetically wasted, mowing down plates of tacos in between dance offs with mexican locals. Contrary to their judgement...i won
Next day, woke up to a gorgeous sun and went to look for food and mass amounts of gatorade. Twas a really lazy day. Worked on music and rum&cokes.
Larry and i went swimming in a 3foot pool, mexican vacationers really...by and large, Can't swim in deep pools
Went to the cliffs to watch the famous cliffdivers (because of their speedos...the small dick click, it wasn't me who pointed this out)
Tonight was going to be another night of epic partying, this time with Annah in tow. The Three Amigos got destroyed on Miami Vices and Tequila shots. By the time we hit the dance floor, shit hit the fan... AZTECA TOOK THE STAGE. (he's the big destroyer looking guy in the silver in the picture)
Azteca can only be described as the god of all things naughty and delicious, mostly Sex Drugs and HOUSE music.
Azteca also promised me that he could give me pussy....i think i have found my new god.
Ended up at some random taco stand eating food at 4am and blindly getting myself into more trouble, woke up to a phonecall from Larry saying he got in at 9am, ..... We left our imprint. and damn did we enjoy it

Puerto Escondido!
I have made it, to the land of beach,booze and booty
Larry (my southern g traveling mate) and I bussed from Cuernavaca to Puebla (3 hours) and then from Puebla to Puerto Escondido overnight (around 17 hours). Word to the wise...SLEEP ON THOSE BUSES!
Got in to Escondido around 1pm and was pleasantly surprised to see that Quicksilver Pro 2010 has a 10 day tournament here going on until the 23rd, there is no shortage on surfer guys for the ladies and beach bunnies for the gentlemen, really as long as they don't see you in the daytime, it is really easy to lie and say you are a professional surfer, just be tanned, act retarded, don't make eye contact with people, but rather make eye contact with the sky and say its epic. Other than that all you need to do is get an official Quick-PRO bracelet, which is easy when you tell a pro you will buy him beers for the bracelet.
Two Hostels to tell you about, both with different vibes.
Hostal a la Casa, is on Playa la Punta and is literally located right on the beach.. this is where you are going to find a very 420 friendly, relaxed attitude towards...pretty much everything, Gloria the owner is as badass as badass can be, with her rocker shades and her left arm entirely tattoo'd like a black n grey cheetah! she will set you up right in bungalows for around 100 pesos a person a night.
Hotel Mayflower, which is located on the beach strip of puerto escondido, on Playa Principal, is a travelers delight, always loaded with travelers from england, sweden, german, italy, ....you name it and they come through here. The owner is pretty hilarious, i detect some dirty german in her.you can get dorms here, but also, a private 2 double bed room with your own washroom with roughly run you and your travelmate 150pesos a night. so...28bucks american each for two nights, ....the only downside to this place is they lock the fridge at 10pm, you technically can't put beer in the fridge, and its quiet time at 11pm, but thats alright when you are heading out to party.
So heres the nightlife for all you sexy people.
at around 11pm, you're gonna want to take your sweaty selves (trust me, you'll be sweaty) down to Zicatela beach where there will be a plethora of bars to go to
Casa Babylon - when we went, it was ska. trumpets and punk rock baby
Kabalah - low down reggae
Uh-LA-LA - surf shack
BARFLY - unse unse unse unse unse electro
most of those are all within 15 minutes of each other
at about 3am you have two choices... go walk the beach with your new found lady friend (no this was not the case for me) or you can head over to the afterhours outdoor party bar of La Pierda de la Iguana. the hottest bartenders from spain, and they spin some pretty good breaks and drum & bass. listen carefully and you might feel like you are in your Japanese friend's Ford Explorer listening to a solid tune.
Alright, so there we have it. Puerto Escondido for a few more days, then on to zipolite the nude beach, and then off into the jungle of Chiapas and Guatemala.
Amor para ti

Ixtapa
To the tune of LMFAO.... I'M IN IXTAPA BIIIITCH! BWOOP BOOP BOO BWOOP BOO BOO BWOOP BOOP BOO BWOOP BOO BOO
Okay so Ixtapa, what to I say about this place.
Ixtapa is a resort town that was developed roughly around the same time as the cancun shibang. Ixtapa was developed by the mexican government mostly, while Cancun got a lot of financial help from Los Estados Unidos... so which one do you think is more developed.
Nevertheless, Ixtapa was incredible, huge crashing waves with an insane current made for some fun frolicking about in the waves, but definitely made me piss my speedo when a rogue wave shot me up on a jetski to about 18feet in the air...testicles should not be allowed to undergo that amount of torment.
The first night, wanted to have a drink before dinner..ended up finishing a 40oz of tequila with two of my friends in 20 minutes, the mix was so terrible it was better just to chug it as fast as possible, ...this made for a very interesting and entertaining dinner as i ate my some-kind-of fish.
The next day after riding a banana rocket...which was pretty uneventful, I bronzed...and then Burnt my body to a healthy peel.
Rented horses with a few people and trekked into these trails until we found a seculded beach, where we had an incredible time racing the horses up and down the surf.
Our guy we rented the horses from Mario, gave us the lead on the first line of Oaxacan Weed down here. I am not going to go too far into detail on this, but dinner that night was deliciously delicious in all the delicious ways possible.
That night at senor frogs I watched some of my girlfriends hook up with "professional soccer players"....Although they couldn't have been that good, seeing as how they couldn't make it to the World Cup.. BOOM
the next day was super uncomfortable for my burnt back, and riding back for 8 hours definitely was not the finest of all hours, but it was so worth it... Ixtapa is a beautiful place that isn't as mass populated as cancun, and gives you the authenticity of a mexican resort town, rather than an americanized one..

Wow.. vanished for a month
Okay these next parts will be in installments.
So. Oaxaca
Oaxaca, Oaxaca is a culture rich city in in the state of...yes Oaxaca (also the date where you would find the surf town of Puerto Escondido)
Anyways, this is where i bought my guitar which brought me much use in the future,
If you are down here, you must check out Monte Alban which is an archaeological site up on in the mountains. While we were there, my black friend Josh, who I make black jokes to (its cool he has a black president now), and I were walking up this one hill when we were spotted by a horde of mexican child students.
Shocked by my stupid hair and tallness, and by josh being......ahem. They ran at us and demanded pictures, so that is what you see down below.

June 11th...The Trip to Oaxaca
Woke up at 5:20....went to sleep at 4:50, this was an interesting day. The night before I was at this night club called Carlos and Charlies, started out watching the celtics pimpsmack the lakers. After being pimpsmacked myself by tequila, a few friends and I went to a guys house which was as creeeeeeeepy as a Joan Rivers sex tape. Got to my house around 4:30 and needed to pack, finished, passed out and was abruptly woken up by my alarm at 5:20. I ran out of the house, showering, eating and getting dressed pretty much all at the same time then I was out the door on my way!
Begun the 7 hour journey to Oaxaca, and crossed over a huge mountain range that was eye consuming. Huge rolling hills of uninhabited land. Arrived in Oaxaca @ 3pm, checked into the hotel and then walked through the downtown core to see some of the catholic cathedrals. After a bit of walking, and a little relaxation, I went for pizza (yup pizza) and afterwards, while walking home (after 10 pieces of pizza and a few beers) some locals were playing soccer right in the middle of the street. I asked if we could play and it turned into a 4 gringos vs. 5 locals soccer match in the middle of the street with 50 or so spectators watching. After we caught them cheating a hell of alot (saying goals didn't go in, blaming goals on cars and motorcycles interrupting play, also the fuckers watching the game would kick the ball to the locals...even if it was the locals that knocked it O.O.B) It started pouring down rain, but we kept on playing. We lost, but hey what can you do when only one of your players actually plays soccer.
That night I had a severe bout of sickness from some growdy seafood that I ate. My asshole felt like it had been raped by Johnny Flame in "flame on" mode (he was a character with the fantastic four, google him if you want the idea)
