Thunderstorms predicted, rough roads described, people warned me not to go. Just take the ferry.
Out of sunblock.
Low on cash.
Decided to go anyways!
The mountain proved way more beautiful than expected. I wanted it to keep going longer!
On the way up, ate my first fresh guanabana!!!
Around the top, ran into some cattle!
On the way down, found some avocados!!!
Just making it into the next town, Hato Mayor.
Sat down to write, in a pile of ants. Oops!
Going to aim for some work!
Hard to find a quiet place with decent wifi. Even more so than in developed countries.
Sunblock's hard to find at all, and often expensive. I was just at a pharmacy, prices ranging from $16.40 US to $32+.
The lights went out repeatedly while I was shopping there.
Finally, after hours of walking around the (somewhat attractive cattle and citrus) town, found wifi!
Also managed to exchange my remaining US$20 bill!
Lesson: Go anyways.
