A bit sad this morning at the bakery La Panaderia de Paris when she said, "hasta mañana" and I had to say no.
Craig and Reene livened up our adventure today! We kayaked into the estuary of the Rio Matapalo. Our guide, Minor (nicknamed Tarzan) took grandma and Kate in his kayak. It didn't take Kate long to decide she wanted out of his kayak because he was dripping a little water on her. So she joins Craig and Reene. No sooner than Craig tells her that her job is to keep the camera dry - and next thing we know, they roll the sea kayak over! Kate is screaming for her life - afraid she is now crocodile bait. I'm not sure why? It's not like we saw any, and hopefully they aren't so dumb to choose her over Craig! I scooped her out just in case. After Craig and Reene surfaced from under the kayak, Reene can't stop laughing! Amazingly we recovered everything that fell out, including the camera Kate was assigned to...dry no thanks to Kate but to Ziplock!
I wish I could say our adventure was full of wildlife. We saw lots and lots of crabs, and some very rare pink el bag-o "birds" in the trees. We even got out of the kayaks to walk to the monkeys, and saw ... More crabs! I am sure Craig is convinced that Costa Rica's wild life has flown the coup! The resort monkeys didn't visit him, and his room was too soundproof to hear the howler monkeys.
We checked out of the condo and moved to another beach an hour's drive north - Playa Hermosa. The hotel is much smaller, simpler and very nice. We are spending the next 3 nights at Hotel Bosque del Mar; it has a tree house feel to it, as huge trees weave through the property and balconies.
With our move came the arrival of Glenn and his family - we are all here now and ready for our adventure to begin!
Iguana coming down the tree to say hi to Greg.
