Sightseeing


We headed down the street from our rental towards the ocean -- it's less than half a mile away.

Closer to the shore
This house is right on the water's edge

Rocks at a fishing spot


We decided to drive down a road that goes along the coast, and looks like a perfectly respectable road on the map.  The further went, however, the worse the road got--very bumpy, uneven, and rough.  After a couple of miles or so, we passed an SUV coming the other way, and the guys in the SUV said we shouldn't go any further without a 4WD, so we turned back.
Don't drive here
We then went to the Makuu Farmer's Market to buy some produce and get some lunch.

A mobile, wood-fired brick pizza oven

Live tilapia and catfish
We decided to try the Indian food
Chicken curry with aloo ghobi (potatoes and cauliflower) on brown rice
 We finished the day with a trip to the Transfer Station, aka, the dump.  There's no garbage pickup in our area, so we have to bring our garbage and recycling to the dump periodically (a strong incentive to reduce waste).
The recycling is divided into multiple dumpsters by type, eg., newspaper, carboard, scrap metal, glass, green waste, etc.




Household waste goes here
There's even a resale store where you can donate and buy secondhand items.
