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.
Nov 26,2010, place is occupied and looks
pretty good.
