In the February 7, 2011 New Yorker Francisco Goldman contributes a personal history, entitled The Wave. It is set in Mazunte and Puerto Escondido. It is a beautifully written story of a couple finding each other, falling in love and creating a vibrant life together. Tragedy comes in the form of a wave and is described in heart wrenching detail. I highly recommend it as I am in awe of the writer's ability to relate his devastating experience. Secondarily, is also an excellent cautionary tale on the ocean's power and the necessity of being fully aware of it. I am sure you will not soon forget it after reading it.
