You pull away from the coast and the air changes — salt fades, replaced by green heat and the rhythm of pedicab wheels on packed earth. The driver steers through lanes where banana fronds brush the roof of the rickshaw and small wooden bridges tiptoe over irrigation ditches. Houses open onto courtyards where charcoal stoves are made, mats are woven, and loaves slide from clay ovens.
