I have not spent much time alone in strange places. Most of my travel experiences have been with others. After having breakfast in the hotel and unpacking, I took a deep breath and set out.
The hotel where I’m staying is out on a peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and only a few blocks from the ocean in any direction. The streets in this part of town aren’t that crowded – cars, taxis, motorcycles, bikes and people walking. Lots of fit guys running. People carrying bundles and containers on their heads. All kinds of interesting dresses in colorful prints.
The beach was full of people – mainly guys playing soccer.
I bought some fruits and vegetables from a street vendor – mango, avocado, eggplant, onion, tomatoes and chili. There is a grocery store right next door to the hotel. I found some other interesting things there an cooked my first meal in my little kitchen.
Delicious! And there’s leftovers for tomorrow!
