Puerto Escondido things to do ⥥ ✨

Meet Sabina Margaret. Born early on the 30 Oct. 3.

Meet Sabina Margaret. Born early on the 30 Oct. 3.2 kilos/7 lbs. Labor did not go as planned but Sabina arrived perfect, healthy, and beautiful. The last two weeks have been all about getting to know each other, figure out how to be parents, and snuggle Sabina as much as possible. ❤️🥰
Conoce a Sabina Margaret. Nacida temprano el 30 de octubre. 3,2 kilos/7 libras. El parto no salió como estaba previsto pero Sabina llegó perfecta, sana y hermosa. Las últimas dos semanas nos hemos dedicado a conocerla, descubrir cómo ser padres y acurrucarse con Sabina tanto como sea posible. ❤️🥰

One week ago today, hours before we became parents

One week ago today, hours before we became parents. Life looks really different on the other side. tengo mucho más corazón de lo que nunca pensé posible. And a partner that I love even more than I knew I could. 💖

So now you’ve seen lots of flower fields filled

So now you’ve seen lots of flower fields filled with cempasúchil and cresta de gallo, how are they used for Dia de Muertos? Here are some examples of how you’ll see them decorating altars, facades, and cemeteries in Oaxaca this coming week. And some inspiration if you’re building your own altar.

Some more photos @arkthur took last weekend on our

Some more photos @arkthur took last weekend on our impulsive visit to @festival.flordegallooax . Cempasúchil flowers are used for Muertos activities and altars and are quintessential this time of year. They also smell incredible and make any space more beautiful. 🌼 On the other side of me is amaranth - another super important local flora used in Mexican cuisine.

Are you planning your winter beach trip yet? If you’re heading to Puerto Escondido and love architecture and art, @casawabi is definitely worth a visit. The structures were designed by Pritzker Prize award winning architect Tadao Ando, and feature art by rotating artists in residency, all in a remote beachfront location surrounded by low canopy jungle, ocean waves, and the Sierra Sur mountains. Other ideas of things to do in Puerto on the blog - link in bio.

Last month marked 4 years full time in Oaxaca. 7 years if you count the part time 3 years before that. I’ve had many different épocas here and I feel like I was a quite different version of myself the first time I arrived: excited, idealistic and with so much to learn.

But I’m so so grateful for the privilege to have been here and so happy for this era I’m in now. My heart is just bursting full atm. 💛🌻

We were supposed to do maternity photos here last

We were supposed to do maternity photos here last weekend but my sciatica and lack of ability to walk nixed that plan. Yesterday I was feeling good so we drove out and took a selfie. The flowers here are gorgeous and the clouds were dramatic last night. Nice to document the last few days of being a family of two (humans).
🌺
Today is the first day that Don Felipe's fields are open to visitors for photo sessions and buying flowers, as well as cultural events. Check my Reel two posts ago for the location - Oct 23-Nov 3.

Less than 2 weeks til due date…This is a wild time of waiting. Just wondering any moment if my body will decide to start contractions, if and when she’ll be ready. It’s a very weird limbo. Not to mention the raging hormones have returned. Cranky and crying one day, happy and optimistic the next. 😵‍💫🫠

This is all during the most beautiful time of the year when so many great Dia de Los Muertos events and activities are coming up. Will see how much I can get out for in the meantime. We will start our (simple) altar a little early since we don’t know what the next couple weeks will be like. In the meantime I’ll share all the activities I come across in my stories so you can save for your planning.

📷 @arkthur at CASA San Agustín a few weeks ago with my 🐶 hija

It’s Dia de Muertos season and beautiful cempasúchil and cresta de gallo flowers are popping up at markets and roadside stands. If you’d like to visit a field for photos and to purchase some fresh flowers, check out Don Felipe’s gorgeous campos in San Antonino Castillo (Google map location in the video).

From the 23rd to Nov 3rd the fields will be open to visitors and they will have bonfires, gastronomy and cultural activities. Please be sure to be respectful and support their business when you visit.

Mil gracias a @mario.come.oaxaca por compartir la info conmigo. 😊

One of my absolute fav hotels @monteuzulu on the coast of Oaxaca is having a super promo for the months of Oct (40% off) and Nov (20% off). Code below.
◇
We stayed for several blissful days last year and it will be the first place we visit when our nena 👶🍼 is ready to travel. The design is impeccable, the jungle and ocean views gorgeous, the organic restaurant delish, and the staff warm and wonderful.
◇
October and Nov are amazing months too because everything is sooo green after rainy season but days are sunny, and the crowds haven’t arrived yet. Use code BrooklynTropicaliUzulu to reserve via @monteuzulu ‘s DM. And tag me in photos cause I’m itching for some perfect jungle design and San Agustinillo beach views while I wait for baby to arrive. 😍🌴🌱
