Yesterday, when I tried to put my goggles on (which really are just sunglasses with padding around the edges), they broke, right down the middle. With some super glue I was able to fix them for the rest of the day, but today it happened again, beyond repair this time. So the day started with a search for sunglasses at a crap shop on the beach. If you recall, my clear goggles were left at a hotel desk in Copàn Honduras. I found some for about 2 bucks, but I don't know what kind of internal damage these are doing to my eyes.
Another beautiful road along the coast today, this time not so hot due to some much-welcome clouds. Near Manzanilla I met a bunch of cool Canadian guys who invited me to go hang, drink, and play golf the rest of the day. Although I didn't, I did decide to check out the town and try to find a suitable hotel for the night.
I found a freakishly nice guy at the tourist info center who let me know that the only hotels around 200 pesos are in downtown, not on the hotel strip where I was. He also said if I didn't find anything, I could stay at his house - either this is really nice, or a little questionable. When I found that there are no hotels for 200p, I left town and continued to the next beach town, Melanque, which isn't on my map.
I've had an amazing time riding up the Pacific the past few days, but tomorrow I head inland towards Guadalajara. No more big water until I get back to the Hudson River for another kayaking season.
