Somewhere a drum is already keeping time, and a radio answers from a passing taxi. Songs drift out of kitchens and open windows, and people sing along unasked. The land climbs from warm coast to cool mountain towns and down into forest, and each region has its own accent and dance.
The climate is tropical and warm near sea level, cooler as the road climbs, so pack for more than one season in a day. A Local Friend can pick the next stop when your plans run out, and the best night is often the one nobody scheduled.
