We FINALLY made it to the beach! And let me tell you, it was worth the wait. We're in Playa del Coco and we've discovered that it gets its name because the beach looks like millions of Swiss Miss packets have been dumped out. It gets this effect from the several volcanoes in the area. The beach we're at is in Guanacaste, one of the provinces of Costa Rica, in the Northwestern part of the country. It's beautiful.
The town is so fun. There are several street vendors and restaurants, all serving delicious snacks and for cheap. Our hotel is perfect too. We found a hostel out of town a little bit for $45/night. It has a hot shower, a/c, and a pool. The owners just took it over last Saturday so they're in the midst of updating which is great because it's not busy.
The ocean is gorgeous. Rachael and her dad went scuba diving this morning and said they saw tons of awesome fish! I would have gone, but I don't have my scuba certification. Oh well, snorkeling soon? I think so. The water temp is right around 80 degrees. Perfect.
The only thing our hotel doesn't have is internet, which is fine because almost evey restaurant in town does.
It's day 2 here and we'll be here until next week Wednesday. Then we'll head to the province of Puntarenas which kind of looks like Chile. It goes up the West coast of the country. We'll be on the Southern part in Dominical for a week. We found a great vacation rental that is beautiful! 2 master suites, balconies, beach side, and lots of activities. I'm pumped.
Well everyone, I think I'm off to the pool. I know you're all probably cold up there, but it's 85 and sunny here...with a light breeze and the occasional cloud. Vacation well deserved? I think so.
