Day 6: Sunday, February 20
After a restful night, Kay fixed breakfast for everyone. French toast and camping eggs with pappya, mango, pineapple, cantaloupe, carrot orange juice, and extra strong coffee. We sat around the breakfast table and enjoyed each other's company for a long while.
After cleaning up, the ladies loaded up in the cars to go into town to shop. One store made taylored bathing suits with many fabrics to pick from. Other stores had beach apparel and tourist souvenirs. The guys met us afterward at a hotel down the street that had a beautiful open air restaurant on the beach. They sat smiling quenching their thirst with......Costa Rican juices...they have converted Larry to all these healthy flavors. The beach was loaded with people sun bathing and enjoying the surf. Lots of experienced surfers on the nice waves.Very beautiful scenery and very relaxing atmosphere....I am always pinching myself because I can't believe we are in such a wonderful paradise.
Marco, Tatiana, Lorraina, Betty, Carlo and Nora dropped us off at the condo and bid us farewell with a lot of hugs for they were heading back to San Jose. Things really quieted down tremendously. In their company there was always something going on, and lots of learning. Larry and I felt that our brains were like the little hour glasses in the computer, turning and turning, trying to figure out what was being said, catching a word here and a phrase there. It is hard to believe that our spanish training in high school was over 40 + years ago. Our Costa Rican friends could not believe that Larry and I met in Spanish Class. Our Spanish grew tremendously around them, but we still have a long, long way to go in speaking it. We will miss their company tremendously.
The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing, reading, napping, and taking a walk....just the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
