Last week we decided to trek over to La Cruz to explore the Marina and see if we could find a good deal on some fish at the local market. Then just yesterday, we decided to go back again and this time enjoy the beach that we stumbled upon.
Just dropped the newest vid, hope you'll check it out and lmk what ya think of our adventure :)
Thanks for reading & watching.
Hive on y'all!
Sweet video dude! You have a lovely family and a beautiful spot. I'm actually not that familiar with that part of Mexico, as I tend to frequent the coast of Oaxaca more, but it looks very nice.
A bit of a pointer on the pronunciation: As there is no letter W in Spanish, but native languages do have the corresponding sound, they usually spell it HU = W. So the first part of the name sounds like Wana. Also, in Spanish there is no sh sound, but in native languages there is, so they spell it with an X = SH. Still, Spanish speakers have a hard time pronouncing it, so they just say S. So the second part of the word sounds like cast-le (separately, to distinguish it from the English castle). So the whole thing together is Wana-cast-le or in the indigenous pronunciation Wana-casht-le. And what does it mean? Well, it's the name of this amazing tree!
Thanks man, glad you liked it.
I asked a 9 year old girl to say it while we were at the beach, and she said it very similarly to "wanna-castle", I probably should have taken her word for it, lol. I also did some research and saw that it was named after that tree. Pretty cool looking tree if I do say so myself.
Thanks for the language break down man, much appreciated. Now you gotta explore some more up here ;)
Hehehe, languages are one of my passions, so I'm always happy to. There is a huge Huanacaxtle tree on the property in Mazunte where I've been active with this project, and we greatly enjoyed sitting in its shade, playing games of chess. So you can imagine, when someone moves their king two steps to the side to switch places with their corresponding rook, their opponent would just look up, and mention the name of the tree!
I know, I have to explore the Jalisco coast (okay, I just saw you're in Nayarit, hehehe)! The nearby town of Sayulita has always been mentioned as "a lot like Mazunte", though I'm not sure. Mazunte has barely 2000 souls, and no structure has more than two floors. And then there is a village of San Blas, which is supposedly amazing for surfing. But the best places are always hidden anyway, waiting for us to discover them.
Dude, that project is sweet! Just looking at that roof gives me math headaches. Terrifying flashbacks of freshman year, trying to understand what the hell Mrs. Vance was talking about, lol.
Sayulita is a fun town, but busy, bustling, lots of tourists. A fun time no doubt if that's what you're looking for, but I'm more inclined to like Mazunte, just based on its amount of souls.
I'm always down to find that hidden gem, found one or two already down here. Not completely unfound, but def not touristy.
Very cool! It is nice to see that they don't have all of the silly rules and restrictions about drones that they do in the US. This looks like a really beautiful place and the fish looked amazing.
Wellllll.....about that....
Technically, if the drone is over a certain weight (basically anything more than a computer fan with wings, lol), you're supposed to be a native Mexican, otherwise you're not allowed to fly drones here.
But it's kinda like most dumb laws in the states, no one really enforces them. So far so good with that mantra.
Ah, okay. Well just take it easy and try to stay under the radar!
Fun stuff! I love Mexico.
I believe it's pronounced wan-a-cakht-lay, where the x makes a 'kh' sound that is more like a catch in the back of your throat than a fully pronounced sound.
Ohhhh, like in Finding Nemo! Mount Wanna-hokh-a-loogie! I think I get it now.
Btw, when you coming to visit?! lol
Hopefully soon!
Oh, there it is! Sorry, I didn't see your comment before writing mine.
Bad ass man!!! What an awesome family you have! Them kids are funny 😂 BTW, thanks for giving me an idea for a place to travel… if we ever do. Lol
Cheers! !BEER !PIZZA
They sure are something else, I tell you h'wat. La Cruz is a real chill spot if you wanted to come visit. But also close enough to some bigger cities with more action if that's what you wanted for the day.
LMK when you're coming down and I'll pick ya up at the airport :)
