While it was beautiful 38 weather and the ocean looked great, there were no palm trees on the beach, so 39 it was impossible to find any shade. We’d heard that in the next town over, 40 Yucalpetén, there were some great beaches, so we asked around and finally found 41 a colectivo headed out in that direction. The one we found stopped 42 by a bathing centre and the town of Chelem. Now right now I’m going to come 43 straight out and say it: if someone ever tells you a story about the amazing 44 beaches at Yucalpetén, just back away slowly and do not make any sudden 45 moves—the person you are talking to has probably escaped from an asylum.</p> 46 <figure><img src="/post/2001-08-31-chelem.jpg" 47 alt="Main street of Chelem"><figcaption> 48 <h4>The main street of Chelem?</h4> 49 </figcaption> 50 </figure> 51 52 <p>We wandered around for a few hours, but we never did find a beach in decent 53 condition. In the end we sat on a grass embankment close to the ocean, 54 observing what appeared to be the remains of a house that had been bulldozed 55 across the beach and into the ocean; there still were big chunks of concrete 56 wall strewn all over the place. It was sort of post-apocalyptic looking. On the 57 bright side, there was a nice cool breeze.</p> 58 </article> 59 </main> 60 61 <footer id="footer"> 62 <div class="copyright"> 63 <span xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#"> 64 The content of this site by 65 <a rel="cc:attributionURL" href="https://chris.bracken.jp/about"><span rel="cc:attributionName">Chris Bracken</span></a> 66 is 67 <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0">CC BY 4.0</a>. 68 </span> 69 </div> 70 </footer> 71 </body> 72 </html>
