Hay Caca Aquí

"hay caca aquí"💩, yes there is. The first time I stepped on this beach, I saw an American girl with a big dog walking past me, the dog stalled and took a massive shit a few feet away from where my sarong was laying while staring me straight into the eyes with a relieved smile. After it was all said and done, I asked her politely if the dog was hers and told her it had just pooped. She smiled and said "that's how they do it out here", reinforcing that it was a cultural thing. I looked at her puzzled and let her leave without further ado, while I was left with a mix of cultural shock and contempt, but also understanding that I didn't come here to fight for what I believe. I'm tired of fighting. So, si, niña linda, hay caca aquí.
