Enjoyed your freewrite very much. I could feel the deweyness of the air and rain. I am a huge fan of finding a place, and TRULY exploring, which means hanging around, and talking to the folks that are always there. To me, that is true travel. Thanks for a well-written look at your corner of the world.
You're welcome :) Thanks for reading and yes, getting to know the locals is a best practice for better adventures.
