Torrential rain... two full days of tropical torrential rain.
After a difficult night on the beach of San Blas, getting absolutely munched by mosquitoes and sand flies, me and my new-found cycling companion woke up to rain. We quickly packed all of our things, shoving them in the bags, soaking wet and full of sand.
That day continued, incredibly humid. As the day ended, the rain clouds just opened up soaking us again... we were left with few options for camping. A quick look at the weather was the deciding factor, we were at the beginning of a tropical storm. An hour of wandering through town, asking locals about places to stay, found us at an inexpensive hostel, where we were glad to have a couple beds in the dorm room.
Now, the rain has continued all day, soaking all the "drying" clothes multiple times.
No problem, the forced "rest" day has been fully maximized using the hostel's kitchen to cook multiple meals: fried potatoes, greek salad with bacon AND bacon grease, quesadillas, multiple banana and cantaloupe smoothies, tostadas, vegetables. What can I say!?!?!? I gotta get those calories!
