Work Day

As planned, we spent most of the day not far from a power outlet. Fortunately, we were able to find one near the pool so at least made it outdoors. And while it makes for a pretty boring travel report, we did manage to catch up of a fair number of things that were starting to fall behind.

We did finally venture out for dinner, walking down the beach after sunset to a small strip of restaurants we noticed on a previous drive by. The large river emptying into the ocean is much harder to spot in the dark, and for all of her previous aquatic adventures, my fellow traveler is less than enthused about having to wade through it. I take some solace that Costa Ricans seems environmentally conscious enough to not dump raw sewage directly into the rivers behind their houses, but I’m also glad that I’m sporting no open cuts on my legs.

We’ve also settled into a bit of a pattern of stopping by the small hotel cafe/bakery in the evenings when their fresh items are 2 for 1. Everything is pretty good, but the Tres Leches is fantastic and I usually pick up a couple to keep in the fridge as a healthy snack.
