It's a fascinating part of Mexico that I really love... and we are headed there in two weeks for a mountain biking trip.

Yeah that sucks, I was in Puerto Escondido last November for the second time in and absolutely love Oaxaca. I know they have defeated attempts to make PE into a resort town but soon they’ll be opening up direct flights from Houston. Personally I like the rustic feel of the place. Hopefully it doesn’t become another Tulum.
