...I just love the way that translates. That´s what Valentine´s Day is called here. It´s really just another day to have a party and spend time with both friends and family. Some people even use it as an excuse to start with tequila at 8:00 in the morning. The school children all came down to the beach with heart shaped balloons and had a play day. We surfed, read, and joined another couple from Canada for some shrimp enchiladas that evening, complete with beer. We continue to love it here and are excited that one of our friends, Jessica, from Durango will be joining us for a week at the end of the month!
A few people have said that they can´t find Ticla on the map. It´s true, both Google Map and even the best atlas´s have little to say about the Michoacan coastal communities. Before heading down here we were actually warned by some other travellers and given a printed copy of a map that a guy from the U.S. created after hiking the entire Michoacan coastline. Ironically, he found our last blog posting and posted a link to the map! So here is the map that we have been traveling by (thank you ¨Alpine Lakes¨!):

He also shared this fantastic link on the history and religious practices of the area:
