Here 37 seconds of a Saturday afternoon on street corner in Rivas, seen from a cool chair within the high ceilings of what we'll call–after bookending our trip with its fabulous seafood–Cafe Ceviche. The man selling nuts sees a gringo with his tiny camera and quickly makes a beeline to us.

Playa Coco and passage of time

Turtle tracks...a cove notorious for poachers, who were trying to force the creature to lay eggs by burying it in sand. Typically.

Got home (after hours upon hours of continuous body-surfing) to find out they're building 20 hideous luxury condos on this abandoned stretch. So that's what those half-dozen carpenters were doing.

So glad we got there before its ruin. Progress is slow, but another ten years will surely complete the transformation (or perhaps return, in this case) into yet another occupied zone.
