Playa Samara

More fun has been had! We are currently enjoying some frosty beverages at our hotel, listening to some local music and swatting away buggies...tropical heaven!

Yesterday we made the trek to playa samara, south of nosara (popular tourist spot). We checked into our bungalow that has an outdoor shower so cool and headed to e beach. We had lunch at a restaurant on the sand and then enjoyed the surf and sun. No rain yesterday. We had a fabulous steak and mussel dinner at a location that has a pretty fancy grill, the wood burns and then rolls down slides to the cooking grill when the chefs need more fuel. Saw that in our travel book and it sounded too cool to pass up. Pricy but delicous, we had a little dog friend all dinner so I snuck out some steak scraps to share :) my mom would be so proud!

Today....oh today, has been amazing! We started the morning with a delicious breakfast and the headed down to the beach to soak up the sunshine. While at the beach we rented horses and a guide and went on a two hour horse ride. Beautiful views and gorgeous scenery. Kyle and I will both be very soar but it was a great experience. Very entertaining to watch kyle on a horse, he did very well for not riding in years. We got off the horses just in time, a huge thunder and lighting storm hit! And I mean huge...has to be the hardest I have ever seen it rain. So what did we do, got in the pool :) so much fun! When the rain let up we headed in for some local food and tourist shopping. Got our magnet and some other goodies.

Tomorrow we head up to tamarindo for more fun. We will be staying a true tourist resort tomorrow, time to enjoy some luxury again. Enjoy the pictures and more to come when I get wi-fi and some time away from the beach!
Pure vida!
