Settling into our little hotel, we
discovered that we would have to walk about a kilometer each day to get
to the beach. There was an easier, closer access point, but it was through
a fishing village and we decided that those were not the waters in which
we wanted to swim! But never mind, because the scenery along the way was
FANTASTIC! We were hemmed in by mountains to our south, and the sea stretched
away to the north, setting us up with a slice of verdant vacation paradise.

Between the blues of the sky and water,
the green of the foliage, and the red and yellow of the flowers, we had
pretty much the entire rainbow covered.

There was a school on our way, and
we got to see the kids (we usually went by around "ice cream" time, when
they would be buying snacks from the local salesman). But by the time we
headed home, the sun was usually making its way behind the mountains, bathing
the beach in one last burst of color.

Of course, not every sight was as
picturesque, but they were rarely boring. We passed, every day, this tethered
old sow and the local gasoline station. Yup, that little girl is selling
those bottles of gas to the guy smoking a cigarette to put in his scooter.
Safety first!
