Voodoo Bar: Ladies Night

Snapshots from paradise...where the grass is green and the girls are pretty (Guns and Roses). Its ladies night at Voodoo bar. Every Wednesday females drink all they want for three hours. Its only a two dollar cover charge. Males have to pay for their drinks. The women are simply hot! Around midnight two dancers came out. They play a lot of music mixes with a very quick beat.

Kelly my wife.












Dozens of girls from all around the world dance to cool music.











The bar, there were roughly 70-85 couples and singles having fun. There were about a dozen locals.











DJ.












Dancing and booze!












More booze. I lost count after 8 drinks. She ended up smoking when the people at Addy's gave her a cigarette when I was in the bathroom. Better luck next week.









Costa Rica favorite beer. I had a few beers at two dollars a beer. Its good beer.











Costa Rica dance. I know they are from here and they don't speak English. She girl however nodded in approval when Kelly told her she wanted to draw her image in the future.










Hot!

























Exotic.












Enjoy. The night cost roughly $14. It was fun. We didn't make it to Pacifico Bar where the party keeps going. Maybe next week...

Random Days at Gardenia.

There has been a lot of sun and heat. Its been a steady 85-90 degrees with 100% humidity. That equates to a lot of sweat. I decided to take my camera to the grocery store. Once a week we walk 3 miles to the store. You can either walk on the road or through the beach and trails. We sorta mix the trip up. We walk back with the groceries. Another day a week we walk three miles to Langosta beach. The rest of the time we stick to our community and Tamarindo beach.

A toad in the window.












Something from the wilds on the widow. It has big saucy eyes.











Our roommate.












We walk three miles to the grocery store once a week. It has better meat then the ones in town.











The way to the grocery store can be walked through many busy roads or the beach and paths. Crocodiles one way, fast cars the other. Pick one.










Many miles and much swear. 90 degree weather with 100% humidity.











Locals spend an average of %500-550 a month on rent.











Normal street road. Our street at Gardenia is a nice street.











Statues from 500 years ago according to one guide. Its unclear what culture is here. Some say its Mayans and others Inca's. There are a few local Indian groups that belong to neither.









Normal clay tripods.












The butcher is nearby. My goal is the grocery store.












Fountain.












A church from 2008.






































The grocery store. Every big town has one.












Indian?












Kabbalah has three symbols in the center. I don't know what this is. Its not Jewish.











Random stores and bank near the grocery store.




























Surprised to see a full store? Other towns have rotting food in the aisles. This is a clean store. Other stores I would call markets. Its much more expensive here then it is in Michigan.






















One US dollar is 500 colognes. This bag of chips cost over $5. Its a small bag.















Over $5 dollars. This is $2 back in Michigan.












Over $6. See a trend?












Looks nice. Not like the other markets.












Hiking back home.












This comes with fried chicken. Its how they eat it here.











The spirit of Gardenia hotel/retreat.












We found one of these in our suitcase.












That's a big pringle can.












Its big.












We walk three miles in the other direction once a week to Langosta beach.











Black sand. White sand.
















 Many miles of beach.












Billions of tiny sea shells make this section of the beach. Its soft to walk on.
































Its hot.












Billions of sea shells.












Its low tide.












In a couple of hours the waves will be covering all of this. This is sea bed.











Lizards. Three to five feet.












Langosta market.
















Back to Tamarindo.

























Sea shell bounty.












Tiny sea shells from earlier.












Peace.
