New shopping centers mark the turn-

past you would have had to ask a cow,
or possibly a horse, for directions.

Part of Cabinas Los Laureles, a small motel
where my new friend John recently stayed while
buying a vacation home down by the beach in
Bahia, the sister town to Uvita.. Uvita is to the
East of the coast highway and in the hills, Bahia
is to the West and near the beach.

New home that now seems
abandoned to a Free-Range Uvita
Horse. The whole thing used to be
Javier's welding shop and living
area for his family. It was very
different looking then. Now Javier
and family have a nice new place
up the hill a ways. I have no idea
what happened to the people that
built the house here.
