This has been another wonderful week of just enjoying the beautiful weather. It has begun to get much hotter than when we arrived with temperatures ranging in the 90's during the day. Still no rain. It is very dry. The Oaks has an inground watering system that comes on in the evening and gives everything a nice drink of water. Many of the beautiful blooming plants are beginning to fade a tad and new buds are coming out.
Some of the highlights of the week are:
*The monkeys came very close to the road where we walk every morning. It was fun to watch the two babies swinging around in the trees. There were about nine of them.
*At night this week the sounds of the frogs has gotten extremely loud. We never noticed it before this week. Larry says it has to be the females calling for the males to pay attention to them. HA!
*Larry has made friends with one of the guards at the Oakes. He makes a point of talking with us each day and is trying to teach us a little more Spanish. He has a wonderful dog that he is training...he walks him throught the area each day....we wonder if it is sniffing for drugs.
*Spotted our first Costa Rican squirrel. It was red with a grey stripe down its back.
*Spent a whole day at the beach walking and sitting under the shade of the coconut trees enjoying the scenery. The beach area is hopping now with lots of people from the north....Spring Breakers. You can easily tell because there is a lot of white skin with red burn. The stores are packed. The traffic is so much more. Kay spotted a topless sun bather while walking on the beach. The thongs are so prevelent that we don't pay much attention to it any more...Larry may disagree. Police ride their motorcycles out on the beach. It was entertaining to watch all the action, but we were glad to retreat back to the Oaks for peace and quiet.
*Watching VCU beat Kansas 71-61.
*Made arrangements to get a Grey Line Bus back to the San Jose...about a 4-5 hour trip. Our flight leaves on Thursday. We are getting excited about the next part of our adventure.
