A trend/pattern that seems to emerge is that I'm arriving in a Caribbean island country, spending the first few weeks in Airbnbs around the capital, then camping out as I make my way throughout the surrounding countryside and towns. Seems to work!
Getting ready to ride around Republica Dominicana!
Probably going to be hot and humid. Maybe some t-storms, maybe some light rain. Regardless of the weather, I plan to make some measurable headway this week.
Not sure that I'll make it all the way to the eastern coast this week. That's probably farther than I'll want to go. I'm figuring on probably only staying a day or two in each of the towns from here to the coast. However, these things are hard to predict. Sometimes I find a beach or other attraction. Then, it's hard to resist!
I want to get back to the beach, the road, the open air. I'd like to take with me the warm showers, cool rooms.
I'm happy to leave some of the noises. The population in Santo Domingo seems quite dense.
We'll see what's ahead!
