The Rest of the Story–”Each Stroke Of His Arms . . “

In order to raise funds to start industries in a community to buy food for a school breakfast program, the Huatulco Tri Sports Club Civil Association and Luis Estavillo are  sponsoring a swimming event on the 18^th or 19th of August, depending on weather conditions.

Luis will start swimming at 7:00 am from San Augustin bay and end at Conejos bay around 15:00 pm. His arrival will be celebrated at Conejos beach with food and drinks for everyone.  It is a SOLO, NINE BAY SWIM, a total of 23.5 KM or 14.6 miles. 

With “each stroke of his arms, he will take a breath and give breath to children.”

We saw Luis practicing for the NINE BAY SWIM in a previous post accompanied by dolphins, a great sign  –

Luis is now ready to do ALL NINE BAYS in order to raise money to buy food for this school kitchen and breakfast shelter –

Pluma Hidalgo — Day Tripping

Pluma Hidalgo, an organic coffee growing community, is a nice “day trip” through Old Santa Maria Huatulco, across a bridge, and up the mountains. The road is excellent as seen in the above photo.

On route, one can stop in Old Santa Maria Huatulco and visit their church building, cemetery, and museum. Then leaving town, you travel past beautiful scenery, including a waterfall or two, until you arrive at the mountain top village of Pluma Hidalgo. The next photo shows the community perched on top of a mountain and engulfed in rain clouds. It was the only time it has ever rained while we were “in Huatulco” and we had to go into the clouds to get wet!

If you want to see what we found in Pluma Hidalgo, go to “Huatulco Photo +” page on this Blog and check out our new page. But, I will tell you in advance . . . we could not find one coffee bean in the entire village.
