Let me begin by clearing a few things up: when Tara said "atheltic prowess" what she meant was "active drowning". However, we may have impressed a few people when we were sporting swim goggles in knee-deep water.
Today was a day of many forms of transportation. Packed up our bags and walked to catch a boat back to Puerto Juarez, followed by a taxi ride to the bus terminal, which was then, of course, followed by a bus ride (3 hours to go about 80 miles) more walking, and then some biking. Our hostel has free bikes for anyone staying here, and they come with pretty fashionable bright orange safety vests. Tara and I made quite a scene riding our bubblegum pink 1960´s coast-break bikes through town while singing the theme song from the Brady Bunch. What can I say? We make friends everywhere we go!
We are looking forward to a few beautiful days at the beach, and more water sports. Look out Olympic Committee!
Safety first!!!!! Always wear your swim goggles, you never know when a fish could swim by you in that knee deep water and suddenly splash you in the eye!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a long day of traveling. What town are you in? Have fun Biking (and singing)and at the beach practicing your water sports!!!!!!!
Time to learn some songs in Spanish....La Cucaracha? Living la Vida Loca? I can just see you in your orange safety vest, but would put money that you are not wearing helmets...
ReplyDeleteConnie,
ReplyDeleteNot to worry! I am making sure that Julia wears her helmet at ALL TIMES, not just when riding her bike. Safety first!
Well that is excellent...and did you get the AK-47 through Customs? How about the Mace?
