This morning was a good morning. Cali boy, Daniel, joined us for a run on the beach! It started off quite nice, until we were stopped by a river like body of water. Knowing the likelihood of unspeakable amounts of waste sitting at the bottom, we declined Daniel's naive request to walk through it. Unfortunately, the alternate option he had in mind was walking along side this water until there was a narrow enough section where we could jump over. We agreed, thinking it would not hurt to check it out. Well a good 10 seconds into the adventure and we were regretting our agreement. We were knee deep in mud! KNEE DEEP! Okay, not quite. More like a good inch, but it sure was disgusting. Daniel did not seem too bothered by the mud, typical boy, and so with each new step we took a chunk of mud added to our runners, making the walk that much more difficult.
Four minutes in and Karisa and I had had enough. We petitioned our pleases by stopping. Bad choice. Wrong choice. The only thing worse than walking in this mud was NOT walking in this mud. We sunk and it was not very pretty. All sides of my runners were covered in mud... all the way up. In the end our petition paid off! We turned around and returned to the normal beach area and started our way back. The ocean water and a random stick helped to eliminate about 70% of the mud suctioned to my runners. The rest just tagged along for the remainder of the run!
The run back was beautiful, refreshing and it almost seemed pleasant... until the unthinkable happened. I do not even want to talk about it. So.. just know it ruined the run and probably the rest of my trip!
---------CAUTION! DISTURBING CONTENT TO FOLLOW----------
Alright, fine... you want to know? ICK. Alright, so there was a particular OLD gentleman that felt the need to take off his pants right in front of us on the beach... and I guess commando is the usual because I was ready to vomit. Got it? Yeah, not the way I wanted to end my run. Thankfully we still had a good 10 min stretch to go and we booked it past him. THE END!
=============================
Not really. After our run, Karisa and I walked down to the local market and picked up some fresh fruits and cucumber to make a lunch and bring to the beach with us. We had pancakes for breakfast! They are like crepes... a bit thicker. SO GOOD.
The beach was good. We swam laps at the pool and then spent most of our day in the shade. Our food was so delicious we had to talk about it for five minute intervals all day! haha That could be a stretched truth...
We made time to read and then, sleep. Heat sleep is never satisfying. Just inevitable.
Now for dinner from Andrew and Jodi... YUM!
Kwaheri!
