Once again I’m traveling with Emily! We’re in tropical Costa Rica on the Pacific coast. We are just a short distance away from the beach in a local boutique hotel, https://conchalcr.com/They have a fantastic website, it is a little more rustic in person. (Note from Emily: It’s definitely more rustic than expected. I just took a shower and there’s no hot water. That’s not uncommon in Costa Rica but based on the hotel website, I had expected hot water. It was chilly!)
It’s going to be a nice place to stay though I think. It’s clean and a good value. Not to mention that it is not a big corporate owned place. We do have in room bug control, I will have to get a picture of our gecko. There is a restaurant here that I had read was a good one. One of my favorite things so far about this hotel is the address, 200 meters south of the bridge, I have to find out if this bridge is impressive or the only one here.
It’s been a long travel day, up early and in the air just after 7. We had a very short layover in Miami, I was able to get a couple of hot sandwiches for us while they were boarding the plane, I bought a lady a cup of hot water for .50 plus tax because she hadn’t expected to be charged and I was not wanting to wait for her to go get money. They were fairly good and seemed fantastic since I only had Kodiak protein/granola bar for breakfast and those weird cookies on the plane. (Note from Emily: I was so happy he was able to get us sandwiches. It would have been an especially long trip with no food.) When we arrived in Miami there was a boy in the row in front of us that told his sister it was “Miami not your-ami”, I decided I was going to have to use that.
So far I’ve seen a lot of sugar cane, goats and cows that have the look of water buffalo but white. I may have to ask someone or google what kind they are. There has been some palm trees but we haven’t seen the jungles yet. It’s getting dark so we will have to explore tomorrow! Time for supper.
Traveling with Emily!
