| Coasting |
We decided that we had been
traveling by foot far too often and it was time for some wheels. So we rented
bikes and set out for a 50km spin to Yurmuri (a nearby village with a beautiful
river and beach).

It was not a “flat spin” like lonely planet had falsely advertised but the challenge made it all the better. We kept pedaling with the help of jolly saludos and encouragement from locals (the best “Mira que rapidez esta flacita!! Dale linda! Look how fast that skinny girl. Do it beautiful!). We ate coconuts and almonds with a new friend and learned about local nature and the endless faults of the government.

| With a little help, we cracked A LOT of coconuts and had a feast! |

| Swimming.. in not so crystal ocean water. |
They way back was more uphill than
the way there (always) but we were rewarded with a swim in the dirty local
beach and after, to my utter delight DURO-FRIO. Not just any duro-frio, but
coconut-mani duro-frio. Thanks to two very kind sisters who lead us all the way
to a livingroom in an apartment complex to ay one peso for our little treats.
