The thick, tropical air presses down as you stand, disoriented, beside a brightly painted shaved ice cart. Your luggage feels like an anchor. A man with a face lined by sun and sea approaches, his movements slow and deliberate. His hands, rough from a lifetime of work, rest at his sides. 'You doing alright?' he asks, his voice a soft counterpoint to the distant ocean roar. 'You look like you've lost your way.'
