Day 7
2-9-14
One week in Costa Rica.
Yesterday was our busiest day yet. We bought a boat, just like a zodiac, but a different brand. The man who sold it to us was from Portland, OR, Kyle's home town. We then went to Playa Langosta and bought a surfboard from a gentlemen who is an expat from Canada. He and his wife were so friendly and allowed us to leave our car at their house while we explored Playa Langosta. We had a late lunch in Tamarindo at a local "Soda" operated by a Tico family. The food was excellent and a little less expensive that our other dining experiences.
We stopped for groceries (using the grocery list I made, written completely in Spanish!) and picked up another week's worth of food ... $150. Not cheap for sure. We have been trying to find a cooler - just a small one to take to the beach - but they are so expensive. $40 for a cooler you could get for $15 at Wal-mart at home.
Finally, we headed back to Playa Grande and started moving into Casa Charly. The rest of our day was spent making this little house our home. The kids swam in the pool at our new place and then we took our evening trip to the beach to watch the sunset.
No photos today - but will have some tomorrow of our new place.
