At the beginning of our adventure on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast we walked on the beach. We had just begun clearing the dense undergrowth; and so, except for a few cleared pathways, the thick brush meant that we walked to - and then on - the beach....because there was no way to walk on the land short of wearing heavy clothing and boots for protection, with a machete in hand to clear the way.
And so we walked - up and down the beach, gladly. With brief forays into the water.
