It's a 7 hour drive and Susan wants fried chicken

So the road from Huatulco to San Cristobal was beautiful.  Much of it toll.  So beautiful and so easy that we took a couple of small detours.  Is that salt pans I see over there?  Let's go see...It was salt pans, and then another beautiful, clean little beach.


Wait...are those mangos hanging from that tree?  Why, yes they are.....
Not quite ripe....
Until we get to the mango capital of the world....

As we left Huatulco in the morning, we got an aviso that the road to the airport was closed due to striking teachers.  We avoided that road, but as we approached the new toll road from Tuxtla to San Cristobal we ran into another roadblock, had to make a u-turn and drive in on the old road.  Curvas peligrosas in heavy traffic coming and going.  And to make it even more interesting, a cloud descended on us and we were in pretty heavy fog.  Lots of beautiful native women with wood piled high on their heads walking along the side of the road with NO SHOULDER.  Wish I could have taken a picture, but I was too busy clenching and puckering.
Arrived here in good spirits, will post up more pics of this delightful home later.  Right now, there are adventures to be had and I can hear Ev folding the map.  These were taken early this morning before the rooster crowed.
