I have a really tough time staying home on the weekends! E
laughs at me and tries to get me to just take it easy, but I want to see it
all! More is more when you have a limited time in a place.
So this one Saturday
we headed to explore some neighboring towns known for folkloric crafts and a
distillery. The craft shopping and distillery tours were both a bust, but we came
across a yummy fonda, like a mini cafeteria with super cheap lunch. I was
surprised to find out that the small town of Ocu does not have safe drinking
water, although all the surrounding towns do. And the water in the cooler, the owner assured us, was from a neighboring town. Apparently, the treatment plant
has needed work for several years.
We
continued driving, taking some wrong turns which led to different dirt roads:
one that eventually became impassable, and another that’s still being used as a
highway! It was a good day of exploration, and we ended up buying hammocks at a
roadside stand.
