I’m out looking for biker street food. Sometimes it’s hard to see but I know now when to take a closer look. Score!
The locals hanging out here helped translate when I was asked what type of sauce I wanted. I had no clue. Fun group, they practice their English helping me with my Spanish.
I did not eat the lettuce, I remember that sometimes it’s not washed with pure water. The rest is great Dominican street food.
Once I find the mountain route out of town I come across a big Super Cross event just getting started!
I have my own thing going on today so I just continue, but how cool!
The roads are dirt and hard pack and in good shape, mostly.
These bikers are fun to talk with. I dig this guy’s Suzuki on the left.
I tell the dude “I race a Suzuki 350 (corro Suzuki 350)!”
Another village with a not obvious way to connect up with the road I want. This is adventure travel. I use the paper map to decide where I want to go, the DR map app and phone GPS to see where I am. Great fun.
Navigation is tricky all day today but I knew it would be. I’ve tried some of these routes before and failed. But now with smartphones and offline DR road maps everything is possible. This requires often stops in the shade to check position and make corrections if necessary. Fun stuff and stopping is always a good way to get a feel of the area.
The plan today is to stay at a motel in Navarrete, a nice place Heidi and I stayed at before in route to Punta Rucio. It’s been a long day and I’m running late but I know the motel, I thought. The place turned into condos now, no motel!
More is on the way!
