Clean Socks = Happy Feet


Nov21-22
Last night when we were on the terrace I had noticed that there was an area on the roof for laundry, this is quite common as it allows for clothes-lines, lots of sun, and a breeze if there is one to help dry the clothes.  As it has been very warm and we have been sweating a lot in our riding gear I asked the lady of the house if I could use the laundry facilities, she agreed so while our clothes were washing we had an impromptu workout on the terrace.


 
There was lots of space but little shade. Once the clothes were on the line we headed out to see the beach in the daylight and dip our toes in the water. The water was clean but the beach was quite dirty, a little disappointing but the tides float all kinds of stuff onto shore. We enjoyed the water all the same then walked around town seeing the sights. We noticed more backpackers here and while walking we seen a couple of Hostels, so that explains the backpackers. We found some great vendors and enjoyed fresh Coco Frio (cold coconut juice right out of the shell), then we decided to take a short break and sit in the central park and just relax. We made a game out of trying to out-sit a couple of old guys across from us. There is quite a mix of people here due to the Carribean, Spanish, and European influences. The old guys eventually won, I guess they have had more training, and we moved on.
 
New Discoveries Today:
  1. The dogs here are smarter than us because they can understand Spanish and we can’t.
  2. Due to changing our route and skipping  Venezuela, it is all South from here.
