Beach dogs at Brisas de Zicatela

We’ve spent the last few days of the year at the surfer beach down the way from Puerto Escondido. The town began about 15 years ago when the surfers moved to the other end of Zicatela beach and this area is now called Brisas de Zicatela or La Punta. There is one paved road and all the rest are sandy lanes. There are lots of little restaurants and surfer shops and vegan eateries and beachwear stores.  And lots of good natured dogs roaming around looking for scraps.

Last night was our last night here and we wandered into a burger and pizza place on the beach for our New Year’s Eve dinner. There were the usual number of dogs wandering about. These dogs look quite healthy and many of them have owners I think. But that doesn’t stop them from looking for the odd handout. At the beach we’ve enjoyed watching the surfing school and the Mexican families enjoying the waves. And also the dogs that love playing in the surf.

Our family holiday is now at and end as my brother and his family and my sister flew back to Oaxaca on the Aero Toucan  plane. We’ve had a fun time together with them exploring these two different places.

Here are some photos of the dogs and of my family. I seem to be unable to position photos using the iPad so they’re bunched here at the end.
