... fish and vino blanco (the chocolate beer was terrible!). Further in town was Starky’s specialising in burritos and again owned and operated by a couple from Washington DC that came on holiday and ended up buying a business and a new life. As we chowed down on our average fare we talked a little further to the guy who told us to “take care and stay safe around town”. After pushing for a little more information he told us that both his wife and him were very ...

... he couldn't play anymore. He offered to drop Dominica off at her hostel (which was right around the corner) and extended an offer to drive Sara and I home to our hotel as well.
