The few restaurants that made up the town along the beach at Huatulco are bordered by a national park of the same name. We were able to camp within the gates of a newly built restaurant called El Capi’s, with access to the clean, new washroom throughout the night and slow to average WIFI, all for 150 pesos per night, about $10 Canadian. The food in the restaurant was good, there were hammocks to swing in, and shady palapas if we needed to get out of the sun.
As we wait for storm season to pass in Mexico, we are dividing our time between our cabin in the Columbia Valley in British Columbia, and various family and friends in and around Calgary.
Our cabin is very rustic. It is 289 square feet, 60 or 70 years old and of douglas fir construction. It was salvaged about 16 years ago from Kootenay Nat’l Park near Radium Hot Springs when the Addison Cabins’ land lease was not renewed. We used it for years without running water or electricity. Then for awhile we had both. Currently we are again without running water due to burst pipes that we have decided not to repair. It is hard to keep them from freezing in winter.
