I was talking to Maureen yesterday and she said The Sylvia's bar and pub areas were open for business so that's great for people. We will probably wait a bit before venturing into a restaurant.
She mentioned she has a friend who has a place in Puerto Escondido and seems to be stuck there for the time being. The beaches are all closed and heavily patrolled by police and apparently the crocodiles have taken over.
I wouldn't want to meet one of these fellows!
The crocodiles of La Ventanilla, Oaxaca, have taken to the beach for the first time in decades in the absence of human activity during the Covid-19 emergency.
The popular ecotourism destination is home to a lagoon in which the crocodiles normally spend most of their time, avoiding visitors who come from nearby Mazunte, Zipolite, Puerto Escondido and other destinations to snap photos of them from tour boats.
But when the tourists are away, the crocs will play, and a photo of five large reptiles enjoying the otherwise empty beach made the rounds on social media on Sunday.
