Rainy rest day

It was a very rainy day today so we had a very lazy morning. Despite the rain, late morning we went on a drive through Dominicalito. We went to a waterfall called Pozo Azul and briefly checked out our local beach. Around lunchtime, we went home to heat up some leftovers. 

Then Bam and Kevin left for Bam’s afternoon surf lesson with Dennis. Even though it was dumping rain, Bam and Kevin decided to go to a mirador bar called Jolly Roger. It was a wing place. Bam and Kevin shared chicken nuggets and fries. While there they saw some wild toucans.

Playa Colonia- Bam Surfs

Image
We started the morning headed to Uvita to get Bam into a surf lesson. Running a little late, we ended up having to push the lesson to the afternoon. With our morning freed up, we decided to head back to the waterfall Cascada El Pavon. Last night we had ALOT of rainfall, so the current was even stronger today and the water was definitely more crisp than the previous time we came. We met a lovely family from LA, and after several attempts, we determined it was too hard to try to get behind the falls and should come back if we had the opportunity when there wasn't rain the night before.  After lunch at Restaurant Laureles, we headed to Uvita360 for Bam's surf lesson. We followed Dennis, the surf instructor, to Playa Colonia, a beautiful beach part of Marino Ballena national park. It was a perfect quiet afternoon of surf, sun, and relaxation.  After the beach, we decided to find a mirador to watch the sunset and eat and early dinner. We ended up at La Parcela in Dominicalito.

Zip-lining and Turtles (written by Bam)

Image
(This Blog post is 99% written by Bam) After a very early morning we headed over to Miss Sky’s zip line tours at the Nosara Beach Hotel. Everyone got their harness on and we went on a 30 minute drive to the zip line starting point in a military truck. I was really feeling the nerves when we kept going higher and higher. We got there and we went over the rules and safety precautions. I was ready to go but nervous, so I went towards the end of the group, so I could watch how to do it. Not long after it was time for me to go, the guide pushes me onto the line and I yelled “aaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!”! At the end of the line, I was pumped to do the half a mile long zip line. Mom went, then dad went. We did 13 lines and some we did together as a family and some alone. After we were done with the 13 lines, we did a 30 minute drive back to the hotel where we started. We went home, changed quickly and then went back to our favorite lunch spot Howlers for more carpaccio. Halfway through lunch, mom want...

Palm Springs (Oct 24-26)

Image
My friend and I went to Palm Springs for a quick fall getaway. This happened to be the weekend of the atmospheric river in San Francisco. I do not know how we actually got in the air and survived the turbulence but a little over an hour later, we landed in Palm Springs. We immediately grabbed lunch and then spent the rest of the day at this amazing oasis pool side- reading and resting.  One of the highlights of this trip was seeing our first principal and great friend, Kevin Truitt. He is living his best life! He made us the most incredible food and drinks. His house is gorgeous. It was so fun to catch up and share old stories from when we were together at Mission High school.
