Nice start to the day with a ham bread and fresh mango juice.
The road is much easier to pedal despite the giant potholes. When road signs announce this you have to be careful. The roads are in bad condition in Quebec?
I was visited by a stinging dragonfly during a high-speed descent...here is the result. Ayoy it hurts!!!
Not knowing how to go, I saw route 123 on the map. I thought it might be faster www.fast123.ca
Then, as if chance was not present enough, I decide to go for a walk in the city of Guatemala.
It is a small village with a small beach.
I finally find for the first time alone a casa de renta. It's still easy to locate with the blue anchor.
If you ever see the red anchor, know that this means accommodation for Cubans only. I walk in the streets of Mayari and I try to find a cheap little restaurant, but everything seems closed. I see men playing dominoes and I approach...
I watch the game carefully and ask if there is a place to eat rice. A man said to me: come to my house, I'll cook you!!!
The situation is rather unreal and the sequel is rather incredible. I eat the best meal for several days and ask him how much he would like to have. He tells me:
You owe me nothing at all! Money is not important. What is important are the actions. Everything you give will be returned to you a hundredfold. camilo
Another proof that people are generous. I leave this family with a feeling of giving back every day. I feel like turning into Chantal Lacroix... In the street, a man comes to ask me for money and without hesitation I give him a few pesos. On the corner of another street I give to another man. My heart fills and my eyes are wet.
To end this busy day, I'm going to eat my emotions with a plate of 25-cent ice cream.
Phew! What a day!!! A day of 92 km of cycling, but above all a day filled with emotions.
Be generous!!! David Beauchesne www.fast123.ca
