Samara

We arrived just after 4pm. The drive was nice and not too busy. We located our Airbnb where our host, Lucy, met us and toured us through the complex. We discovered a little visitor gecko in our bathroom and various birds that were so loud. In the morning we woke to see variegated squirrels in the trees. One inparticular was after the coconuts in the palm tree. After breakfast we walked downtown to look for a supermarket and potential restaurants. We had a short walk to the beach and then we took a long walk up and down the entire bay with some swim and body surf breaks. We read our books in the shade and then walked to get groceries. After an afternoon coffee we went to the pool for some swimming/exercise. For dinner we tried a restaurant right on the beach. The clouds moved in for a moody evening and, without much wind, the humidity was relentless. We haven't stopped sweating and this was the first day my hair stayed wet and damp from morning to bedtime!! Tomorrow we drive to Manuel Antonio.Read more
