Even better than rest days, is "chillin' out" for a while. The last week, I've been relaxing in the house of a good friend, Sam. He has an extra room and has been a gracious host, showing me around the jungles and beaches where he lives. He even showed me around a mind-blowing permaculture project that he's working on (cirenas.org).
The first few days are always filled with a list of chores. This time around, I took a full day to wash laundry; another full day to wash my tent, panniers, and sleeping bag. It's been three months of hard travel and things were absolutely filthy. Of course, there is a day or two of bike stuff to do... cleaning, tuning, maintenance.
Now, it's all relaxation time. I've been surfing on a borrowed longboard, enjoying the famous Costa Rican waves, and cruisin' the dirt roads on an old motorbike that doesn't have brakes nor a headlight. Pura vida!!!
