costa rica part 1

well, i am working backwards here because i am starting with our last night in costa rica. since we lost the pics from the beginning of the trip we are working on turning some of the video into still pictures. we'll see.



so the last night we went to a little beach town, playa del coco. it is in guanacaste, about a 20 minute drive from the airport in liberia. we didn't have reservations anywhere and we ended up at this great little hotel, the pato loco inn. each room was uniquely decorated and we had our choice of the western room or the beach room. we took the beach room. for $52/night we couldn't beat it.


it was about a 10 minute walk to the beach and we got there right at sunset. the water is crystal clear and the sand is almost black. it was not at all like the beach in montezuma. it is a cool little town with a very active night life. we only had dinner and coffee. we were pretty beat after driving all day.

there was a storm close by, but it never made it out to the beach.

the next morning we got up early and went to a different beach, playa ocotal. we hung out there before packing up to head home.
it was a great way to end the trip! very relaxing...very beautiful. more to come...
