4 December 2019: Top: I took another hike this morning, but took a left at the fork about 500 m up instead of a right. This motorcyclist stopped me, the driver shook my hand and asked me my name and where I was from. He wanted to practice his English, I think. He was taking these boys down from their school up the road. He wanted their picture taken, so I obliged.
Bottom: My villa-owning friend, although trained as an engineer, now spends a lot of time as a gentleman farmer. He is trying to grow passion fruit on a small commercial scale. The plants looked a lot like grape vines.
