The travel from PALCON Cooperative in Sariaya was a bit long. We entered the side roads of Pagbilao anticipating what’s in store for us. When we finally got a glimpse of Pueblo por la Playa from the distance, we all knew we’re in for a surprise.
We had to park all vehicles near the entrance, and a shuttle, more like an over stretched golf cart, took us to our villas. It took two of these shuttles to get all of us. The JICA group had their large suitcases with them.
The name of the place was indeed appropriate, there’s the beach, swimming pool, and the design of structures were distinctly Mexican. After unloading in our indigo colored villa, we were taken to the coffee shop, Oaxaca. The place was cozy, umbrella covered coffee tables are arranged overlooking the pool. Tables, chairs, and fixtures (even the floor tiles), carries a lot of Chicano symbolism. Before we had our seafood dinner, our generous host, Cong. Alcala, joined us.
In the morning Toshiro took a quick dip in the pool. Obviously not satisfied with the still water, he trasnfered to the beach. Jimmy took a stroll along the shore. You can see him in on the pictures here, but only if you enlarge it. Our host joined us again during breakfast. Afterwards he started heading back home, all of sighing about not having another day in paradise.
