this is us driving into to town. the north coast in the distance. we stayed on the north coast.
yeap the life. folks chillin in the shade. a water barrel probably for flushing toilet and shower water. water was gotten from deap ground wells. it was fresh suprising to me. not drinkable unless you boiled it, which is what we did and then cooled it off, since i rufuse to buy bottled water.
crossing through a little stream. the night before they had a hug storm with 10inches of rain so everything was nice and muddy!
another 4x4 passing on its way out.

the town is getting closer and closer! tons of beach cabanas awaiting us tourists to rent them out. tourism is definetly the biggest money making industry of the town. we came at the end of the tourist season. this is the south coast. the north coast is to the left. cabo polonio is at the tip of a long peninsula making it very apt for frequent intense thunderstorms. which we experienced that night. we were surrounded by lightning. i learned today that 2000 people a year are hit by lightning, and 9 out of 10 survive. how crazy!
