I made it to Uvita and it wasn´t THAT bad although it is not an experience I would like to repeat soon. It was 40 km. (25 miles) of dirt road. For the most part it wasn´t any worse than some of the rail trails I´ve been on. At no part was it wash board, thank god. I´m sure I went farther than 40 km. however because of all the weaving back and forth across the road avoiding potholes. Otherwise the road is just what I was looking for, very wide and little traffic. I took me about 3 hours to do the distance, nothing to brag about certainly. When I got to Dominical and finally hit pavement again I was very happy. I went about 25 km. past Dominical to Uvita which is where I am writing from. I am at the Tucan hostel. I knew i was in the right place when I saw the sign with the yin yang symbol out front and a sign that said massage. This was confirmed when I went to the front desk and classic rock was playing and I went to my room and there was a large framed picture of the Grateful Dead on the wall. A very cool place. I decided to stay at least one more day. Maybe go to the beach. Today i am treating myself to a 1 1/2 hour massage. I am going to try one more time as this woman is an american and was trained in the U.S. The weather has been very consistent if it is going to rain it does it late in the afternoon and if the sun is going to shine it does it in the morning. I have been trying to time my rides to get to where I am going for the day before it rains. That´s all for now.
hasta la vista baby
