El Carib

Yesterday, explored around and stayed overnight in the Afro-Caribbean Garifuna village Triunfo de la Cruz, a short distance along the coast from where I am now in Tela. Very chill with practically no tourists. Checked out the local live music at a disco on the beach and this morning I visited the botanical garden in Lancetilla reputed to be the finest in Latin America. The grounds were impressive and nice to walk around, but I'd hoped to find more information on tropical forest conservation and agriculture. Rode much of the way to Tela in the back of a pickup in pouring rain. Drying out now.
