My Costa Rica, Day 2

Hola!

This morning started off at 5:40 am, when Cliffy had decided to turn up the airconditioning. So even though it was a sweltering bazillion degrees outside, I was forced to wake up shivering and put on a sweatshirt. Cliffy’s answer to this, “well, on my side of the room, I was fine.” Because I had spent the night sharing a bed with David, who enjoys hogging the entire mattress and the blankets, I was irriated, but because I am weak to beautiful things, such as a bed, so it seduced me back into a deep sleep before I could put on my crabbypants and chastise the pair of them.

Anywhos, many hours later, I woke up to begin my day. The hotel includes breakfast, so while David and Daddy got down with the natives, ordering a true Costa Rican breakfast of rice and beans, I went with the pancakes. I don’t think I need to tell you who went home more satisfied.

Afterwards, we laid out by the pool until the sun had sucked all the energy out of us and it was time for a nap. Cliff refused to particpate in this extracirricular activity, but I must say, it was delightful. Once we were awake again, we drove to near by La Playa Coco and walked on the beach. The Pacific Ocean is, by the way, frickin freezing. It sends chills through your body when you first step into it. We then had a lemonade on the beach, walked around town, and then headed back to the hotel for a jog.

The jog was rough because it’s super hot and it’s on sand. Although, we did manage to, remarkably, run into a friend of David’s from High School, Maggie. Small world, right? Also, our hotel is at the top of a very, very, very long and steep hill. When it came time to run back up that, I declined. I feel it was one of my better choices of the day.

We ended the day in the Hotel Restaurant, where David and Dad drank their sorrows and as usual, I was the sober sally. I did have to steal a knife from the kitchen though–David’s soulmate, his watermelon, needs to be eaten soon.

I have not been told what’s on the docket for tomorrow, but I am certain it’ll be an adventure. In this part of the country, we’re mostly being beach bums, but we leave for the volcanoes/rainforest in a few days where we get too zipline and have canopy tours. Stay tuned!
