We returned to a pair of our favorite coastal towns in Mexico to enjoy the sunshine, good food, beach walks, and sunsets. During our spring visit we discovered a few colorful art additions, plus spotted a variety of sea creatures and birds.  

New artwork in the Zicatela area of Puerto Escondido:

Recently painted murals and surfboard, as well as a colorful teepee in Zipolite:

During one of our late afternoon beach walks in Zipolite we listened to the local high school band. The members asked for donations after each mini concert on different parts of the beach.

Wildlife in Zipolite:

Playful humpback whales and some brave fishermen:

This little dove found an unusual spot for her nest. We departed before her eggs hatched, unfortunately.

Two more-beautiful-than-usual sunsets:
