This morning lost in a network of farm roads, gravel and rocks, clouds of small insects like sand thrown into your face. and Dragonflys in such vast numbers that they cover the path. I cycle through the heat of the day, determined to make it to the beach, and a swim.<br \/>\nIts Jennies birthday today. I call her from the main plaza of a small town.<\/p>\n<p>Sleep on the beach or find a hostel? I have left it too late to cycle out of Cadiz to find a good spot. I waster time watching surfers from the clifftop promenade, near the historic part of town.<br \/>\nSo I find myself at Caracol hostel, where instruments are brought out, and not put away until three. Its here that I meet some great people, particularly Heidi, Kristi, Rob, and Gerome, who, indirectly convince me to stay another day.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-556 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/_mg_0479_solarpower.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/_mg_0479_solarpower-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/_mg_0488_cadiz.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/_mg_0488_cadiz-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/_mg_0504_cadiz.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/_mg_0504_cadiz-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/_mg_0512_hostalcadiz.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peterstenhouse.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/_mg_0512_hostalcadiz-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its been a long day.
