Boogie Boarding in Zipolite Nov. 2017

Here's a few photos of Boogie Boarding in Zipolite today!

Today we finally went in the water. We had waded and put our feet in and Mother Ocean had come up and kissed our toes but finally after a almost of month we went in.

The waves are calmer now. And we are a bit more acclimatized.

Angel borrowed a boogie board from Aguila de Zipolite -- the life guard, whom I have known since before Angel was born. His son Erik, helped her getting used to the water and board and then she was just having fun by herself.

Muchos Gracias Aguila and Erik.

I went swimming, well it is more like wading and dunking, you swim left and right, and never go out far, especially without a board.

Be very careful of the waves. Always watch the flags and watch where the locals swim and ask a lifeguard if you can.

People do and have drown. We got caught off guard once, maybe that is why we waited this time. So glad that Aguila is back. Yayyy!

Here is a blogpost of mine from 2012.

"WARNING about the Waves"

At the 14 minute mark in the short film below, you can see Aguila and another lifeguard Ray rescue someone. That was in 2008

Dia De Muertos Festival en Zipolite -Nov 1 2017 -Day 1

Yesterday we celebrated the Dia de Muertos, also known as Dia los Angelitos.
Here is Mexico it is a 3 day celebration. It is a very ancient tradition about love and respect and honoring your loved ones that have passed on to the spiritual world. It has nothing to do with Halloween. It is the opposite in so many ways.

"Scholars trace the origins of the modern Mexican holiday to indigenous observances dating back hundreds of years and to an Aztec festival dedicated to the goddess Mictecacihuatl. The holiday has spread throughout the world, being absorbed into other deep traditions in honor of the dead." read more here

Frances Ann Day summarizes the three-day celebration, the Day of the Dead:

“

On October 31, All Hallows Eve, the children make a children's altar to invite the angelitos (spirits of dead children) to come back for a visit. November 1 is All Saints Day, and the adult spirits will come to visit. November 2 is All Souls Day, when families go to the cemetery to decorate the graves and tombs of their relatives. The three-day fiesta is filled with marigolds, the flowers of the dead; muertos (the bread of the dead); sugar skulls; cardboard skeletons; tissue paper decorations; fruit and nuts; incense, and other traditional foods and decorations.

”

— Latina and Latino Voices in Literature^[4]

Here are some of the things we did and saw!
We had hot chocolate and pan de muerte with our amiga and then we went to the Dia de Muertos Festival at the Calavera Social Club for the 6th Annual Dia de Muertos Festival.

"Por una conciencia viva a través de la muerte"

Calavera Social Club colectivo conciente te invita a participar en el 6to festival cultural de día de los muertos en Zipolite (Playa de los muertos) Oaxaca.

Los días 1,2 y 3 de noviembre teatro, danza, cuento y música unidos en el festival. Este festival tiene como fin preservar una de las tradiciones mas bonitas y coloridas de nuestro México además de proyectar a Zipolite como un sitio de turismo alternativo único en el país. Este es un festival es totalmente independiente y el contenido tiene el objetivo de estimular el crecimiento espiritual de cada persona a través de las artes y de los valores humanos y nuevas alternativas de vida.

We also visited amigos and saw the beautiful altars/arcos they made. It's a very special time. Sadly one of Zipolite's beloved members passed away and so the town was grieving. I send love and light and my deepest condolences to all the family and friends and to all those that are missing loved ones.
