Cahuita – Day 7

February 14th, 2007

After another lovely breakfast, James and I decided to take Colonie for a walk. You can read more about Colonie here. We walked pretty far down the beautiful beach and watched Colonie romp in the water, lay down in the water, sit in the water, roll in the sand, and just run around. He was so happy to be on the beach, and I know he will be so happy once the fence is finished around the property.

Manzanillo – Day 8

February 15th, 2007

After a few hours at El Puente, we wanted to check out the snorkeling in Manzanillo. I was honestly pretty easy-going up until this point. I don’t know what it was….

Puerto Viejo – Day 8

February 15th, 2007

After resting and showering, all four of us decided to take a taxi into town and eat at El Loco Natural. They have live music on Thursday nights (starting at 8pm) and we heard only good things about the food. When we arrived, there was a very short wait (about 5 minutes) and the place was packed. I highly recommend getting there a little early.

Jungle Waterfall and Bribri Chocolate Tour – Day 9

February 16th, 2007

I had a hard time sleeping last night so I slept in longer than usual this morning. James woke me up around 8:30, and we went upstairs for breakfast. Andrea and Jay were already there and we agreed to meet up later so we could meet Roberto at his school. We made plans with Roberto earlier in the week and he agreed to take us to a Bribri chocolate demonstration and then to a jungle waterfall. Andrea and Jay did their own thing and James and I decided to take Colonie for a walk and then relax on the beach.

Puerto Viejo – Day 9 (evening)

March 11th, 2007

Roberto was kind enough to take us into town so we could buy our bus tickets for our trip the next morning. The ticket office was a little busy, but that wasn’t surprising considering a bus was leaving for San Jose soon. I thought it was nice that the man working in the office first helped those trying to make the 4:30 bus and we didn’t mind waiting. However, we found our patience being tested when we were told that he didn’t have much change and we couldn’t use large bills (I think I had a 10,000 colones note). He then decided to go to the bank to get change and kicked us out of the office. We walked down to a little bar to get a Coke (and change) and then went back to the office to wait for the man to come back. He did hurry back, but said he didn’t get enough change…so we were very happy that we got smaller bills.

Time to say goodbye – Day 10

April 9th, 2007

James and I were up bright and early in order to finish packing and get things ready for the flight back. I walked down to the beach for the last time and took some pictures of the sunrise and beach in front of Banana Azul.

We are going back!

May 24th, 2007

I am happy to report that my husband and I will be celebrating our 5-year wedding anniversary on the beaches of Puerto Viejo.

I found an amazing deal on Taca.com, one so good that I bought the tickets less than 10 minutes after seeing the price. We will be staying for 9 nights, and are really looking forward to doing some of the stuff we missed the first time!

So while we still have a while (we’re not going until December), it gives us a chance to save money. I think we’ll be doing most of our Christmas shopping in Costa Rica!

🙂
