Here’s a picture of the whole beach, all three kilometres of it. I have indicated where our villa is located (behind the trees that edge the beach) with a red arrow. It’s kind of small, but you can find it if you look hard enough.
Well, as you can guess, when we go walking the beach it makes for a good six kilometre walk, a very good workout for the legs especially when we walk in the water for a good portion of the walk. In this photo looking away from the beach out to the Pacific Ocean, you can see how most of the coastal area is rocky.
We found a very small beach just around the corner of these rocks, a perfect place for a quiet picnic in the future. Of course the rocks themselves make for a good playground.
We weren’t the only ones who thought that the place was a good spot to hang out. This beautiful bird decided that he was interested in sharing the place with us. He even posed for us so that you could see what kind of friends we are already making in Jaco.
With the morning walk done, we returned back to the villa with me stopping only once for yet another flower photo. Back in the villa we decided to follow the rules of the country and just chill out until the late afternoon when everyone comes back out to play. Time spent in the pool as a way of cooling off was part of our strategy for chilling out.
Then, it was time to head back to the beach for a few more sunset photos.
Here is one that Maureen took as proof on my being here with her. All I can say is that life here is even better than we expected. So far, it is like a paradise.
What else do we do in paradise? Well, we do actually sit still for a little bit of time so that I can write up these blogs and get a small bit of reading in. There isn’t much time left over for being bored.
I really like the sunset picture. Are you planning on doing some snorkling while your there?
Most definitely! We are waiting until we have enough of a tan so as to not get burnt to a crisp while in the water though. We are thinking that two weeks in ought to be about right.
