Camped out by the sea last night, under a guava tree. Heavy rain overnight. When I woke up, someone was soon there, asking to see identification, saying from the navy, but in plainclothes. I showed ID. The person showed ID indicating navy director of intelligence.
Ate some guavas from the tree, and some mangos I'd been carrying, for breakfast. Yum!
Now planning a somewhat risky ride. It's around 40 km to the next town, the last one before the coastal road ends. I'm concerned about the bike failing, about running out of sunblock or insect repellent or more. Hoping there's wifi there, to do some more work!
More rain this morning. More mangos and guavas this morning.
Some of my favorite things about Republica Dominicana so far include:
Food (rice & beans!)
Warmth
Coastline
Wide highway shoulders
Some of my least favorite things about Republica Dominicana so far include:
Crime (attempted robbery!)
Excess heat
Excess humidity
Heavy rain, t-storms
Loud motorcycles
Rode further, now less than 20 km from the next town. Pausing at a gas station with wifi!
