A LETTER FROM The Pacific: OAXACA, MEXICO

Hello from paradise,

Puerto Escondido, located on Mexico’s Pacific Coast in the state of Oaxaca, literally translates to “hidden port,” and I like it that way. Although I’ve visited Mexico more times than I can recall,and at night for its bioluminescent waters. The town is also a gem for shopaholics, like myself, where one can find traditional textiles and crafts. Make sure to stop by the local market for fresh flowers, authentic food and souvenirs, or stroll El Adoquin, a colorful street lined with local artisans where you’ll find woodwork, freshly-baked pastries, jewelry and traditional black pottery (yes, I took home one of each).
