In Pedernales Day 6,7&8

Today is Monday 12/15/14 and finally got my blog up to date.

I am not sure just why I picked this town, other then being very close to the equator, but it is okay but have decided that I can do much better, especially after experiencing Salinas (look below). I will head out on Wednesday and go south from here or even maybe east to Quito, yet to be decided.

So far this has been interesting and fun for sure. So far I have only found 2 people who speak English and so that has been my biggest disadvantage, but I am learning faster then I thought I ever could.

I will try to group the photos below with some sort of logic but no guarantees since this is also my first first blogging experience.

Oh and this blog starts with Day 1 so be sure to scroll down if you are interested.

It took 45 minutes in line and then they couldn't or wouldn't do it either but did help by asking someone who was making  a deposit to break it for me. That wasn't easy either because he had to check with the bank that it was a good bill. ha ha lesson well learned.  Outside of bank! I made the mistake of carrying $100 bills but could not spend them.

Biggest and fastest have the right of way is the rule here on the road and even on the sidewalk that are dangerous with lifted concreted and more.
