Cows and Breaks

It’s hard to find a place to have a rest at the side of these narrow roads. Vegetation grows almost at the edge of the paved surface. But when you walk some 20 miles a day, you need to stop sometimes. We don’t want to lay in the weed that grows along the roads, sometimes it’s two meters high. We don’t really feel like probing what lives in there (though I suspect millions of mosquitoes)... So, we have breaks on the tarmac hoping that drivers pay attention.


Sometimes it’s not cars but cattle. These simple animals avoid us and would never step on a human. But there’s a chance they get scared, and we don’t want to make extra tasks to the “cowboys”. From Naranjos to Tamiahua the terrain is hilly again, so we’ve had to pay more attention to the trucks when passing curves.
