End of another Era

...yes I am too lazy to create a fancy HTML hyperlink that says "Click Here."

Danzante eco-resort was a beautiful place to relax, "hammock", drink margaritas and beer, take in some traditional organic mexican food, dive, kayak to remote beaches, and listen to historic stories from the owners that involved names like Steinbeck.

No longer.

I knew it was coming. We were told the reason there was a check point entering the property was because a huge developer had bought most the land and was planning on leveling the Danzante resort and the fishing town they mention in this short article. Yes, that's right...they want to level the town. Destroy it, drive the local Mexican folks out and build high rise resorts and a golf course. They were specifically told "your town is ugly and we want you out"-but you will not read that in print anywhere.

I feel more claustrophobic everyday.
