We're staying in a 1960's walk-up building with a musty department store at street level and mixed-use units above. The next-door apartment for instance is Ali's, where you can fix anything that bothers you! Behind us is the River Cuale rushing to the ocean 4 blocks away. But from the front entrance, the main corner is as near as you can throw a stale tortilla. In fact, that's where the tortilla bakery is, cranking out 1000's of them every day (more in a future blog post)!
Turn around and you'll find a fresh fish market, fruit pie shop, open-air chicken rotisserie, and the biggest family-owned grocery store in town, Rizo's.
Hopscotching over the 2 rickety suspension bridges is like navigating a funhouse of moving floor tiles after too many tequilas. But the reward is a direct connection to the daily lifeguard drills or the nightly sunset. A great base for our time here, but we're leaving this week to bus up the coast for a change in scenery.
