Julio Soto’s cover art commemorates the ocean swell of May 2 when the Zicatela waves crossed the calle del Morro. The beach palapas were swamped as the water came over their sandbags. But the next day, trenches were dug and Colotepec brought in a lot of machinery. By the end of the week business was back to normal, and people with beachfront properties mopped up and had their pools cleaned. The condition was ideal for surfers.
Spoiler alert: if you want reliable, high speed Internet, go to Acapulco. Puerto Escondido allows tourists to relax, unplug, and enjoy life as it was ten years ago. See Slow Internet.
