I have travelled around a bit now, Pacific, Caribbean coasts, seen mountains, rainforests, volcanoes, cloudforests... it's good here. Very, very beautiful. But in Puerto Viejo I finally found a place that was a nice small town - geared up for the tourists but also for the locals - it's not just a black hole for your cash to disappear but somewhere where people actually live as well as providing gringos with beer. It was good. Particularly the crab in the bar - that was amazing, it was easily as big as my hand - it just scuttled around. And the incredible sunset on Sunday night that I managed to enjoy, rather than trying to take a million photos of something that really truly resembled a postcard, not reality. It was wonderful. And it was normal to see people who aren't european in origin - a change for Costa Rica.
I'm going to post a few photos every day, rather than all in one, but will be doing the snapfish thing if you want to see them that way...
This is the house that belongs to Auxi's family. It was airy, light, and FREEEEEEEE!
Apparently every time they go they normally paint a bit of the house, but this weekend it wasn't possible - the ferreteria was shut (and that means a hardware shop, not a place that sells ferrets) so instead there was lots of cardplaying and eating.
Need I say more?
This was Playa Cocles, about 5km outside Puerto Viejo, on Monday when it was glorious weather. We bathed, in sun and sea, and I got bitten to pieces.
More beautiful sea and sand at Cocles.
More bragging via the medium of photo to come tomorrow. Yay!
