Pura Vida - Our Costa Rican Adventure

Tamarindo's story has come to an end.  A new journey unfolds as the newly wed couple starts chapter four in Playa Coco.  Our new place is a condo in a very well kept sub division.  We have all modern amenities and no bugs.  The sub division consists of many development agencies and has armed guards on every block.  Its very quiet and maintained.  We have our own market.

The subdivision goes on for many blocks and there are sporadic botanical gardens throughout the area.

Playa Coco is not that impressive for its full of garbage.  However its surrounded by three other beaches which are clean.  The people are not the same as we met in Tamarindo.  Not much music and the people appear to be gloomy.  It feels safe enough and many families and children are around.  Its 100% third world.

We ate an American meal while watching the sunset at a restaurant called Beach Bum.  Music played as people were given free salsa lessons. The next day we wandered up the coast and crossed some very poorly built wooden bridges as we searched out a nicer beach.  After many miles we found Playa Blanka.
