Our Triptastic Trip: I now know where saline nose spray comes from

Another gorgeous day in Carrillo bay (see the video link below). We started off the morning like we said in the last post, eating breakfast with an amazing view of the bay. We then decided to take another walk down to the beach cause it was like 93 degrees out with clear skies. The water felt so good that we jumped in and spent the next two hours or so trying to body-surf the waves, some of them were kinda too big though so Tyler and I got some pretty thorough sinus cleansing. Haha.

After we got cleaned up in the hotel, salt water makes you super sticky, we found out when the local bus leaves (it wasn’t on time and we walked probably for 30 min, haha) and hopped on that to go to Samara, the larger next town over, about 7km away. We walked around and explored for bit and had some late lunch. Lunch was the typical Costa Rican fare, fish, rice, beans, fried plantain, salad, and mystery salad which this time was potato and beet which was pretty good. Samara is a nice clean town with abunch of shops and has its own half moon bay as well with a beach almost as nice as Carrillo, though much more populated. After that we caught the bus back to our hotel and found that our lizard was back in our room eatin our bugs. :-) Oh also on the walk up the driveway to the hotel we must have seen about 100 lightning bugs! It was so cool, it was so dark out (it gets dark here at about 6pm year round), that we just kept seeing light flashes all around us like a field of falling stars. Anyways, we’re in our room now and kinda tired, and its only 8pm, haha, so Hasta Manana!
