Riding around the Dominican Countryside!

Picked up some vegetables and bread. I like Caribbean bread, it tends to be soft. In this area of RD, I've seen most colmados (general stores) selling a type of bread that has the approximate shape and size of Twinkies, however it's bread instead of sweets. Soft, fluffy, delicious. Often the handmade varieties already contain margarine!

Rode by a beautiful waterway. Reached a place where the map showed a bridge over a larger intersecting river. No bridge. Turned around. My recently bought bag of food had fallen out anyways. Went back, despite the length and repeating route. I generally like to take each route once only. Picked up my bag along the way. Sometimes you have to adjust to mistakes in planning!

Ate rice at a quaint restaurant overlooking a waterway. Soft, fluffy, delicious.

Then, by banana trees, at a narrow bridge, which people crossed by foot and even by motorcycle, I bathed in the waterway. First bath in a while!

Also, seen someone washing a bike in that waterway!

Rode on, camped.

More indigestion. Seems like a regular part of my travels in the Caribbean. I eat the local food, and drink water that maybe I shouldn't. Seems like a decent tradeoff.

Another foggy morning!
