2019, Exploring

We went exploring the area around Pedasi, with the goal to end up in Playa Venao, a surf beach 30 km from Pedasi. We ended up driving 160 km through some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. Lots of rolling hills and a road that went straight up, then straight down.

Yep, you can see the ocean way in the distance

I love the fence posts that are actual growing trees.

Yeah, we are still more than a little crazy!!

It seems like every little town has a square and a church. It was pretty quiet for a Sunday morning.







We took a side road to Isla Caña, hoping we would find a beach. We kind of did.... we found a river and a kind gentleman told us it was a 5 minute boat ride or a 10 minute walk to the beach.

Absolutely no English spoken here.
But an interesting conversation anyway.

The next little side road took us to an incredibly beautiful beach. One family were out enjoying the water.

Be interesting to know what this monument was doing on the beach.

As we were getting close to Playa Venao we could see the sparkling blue ocean in the distance.

It is very common to see a horse....or a cow...tethered to the side of the road.

Although it seems horses are a method of transportation, and not just riding for fun. 

Finally arrived at the beach and a cold libation was in order....while we were watching the surfers.

It is hard to take clear pictures when you under a dark roof and bright all around!! Especially when using a phone camera.

And then we went home on a road that has some of the biggest potholes in the history of the world:) 

Thankfully the road is being repaired. In the meantime you drive where ever you can to avoid the potholes....on the wrong side, or in the ditch is often the way to go.

Another sweet day in our little bit of paradise.

We did pass a road sign for monkey crossing but missed the picture. 

Oh, and I dropped those sunglasses and broke them...on the hunt for another pair. Good thing those only cost $10 when they lasted two weeks.

Cheers
