Bev returned to the USA today and I took the Interbus, a van service that picks up and drops off at hotels, to Brasilito, on the coast. The drive was quicker than in a big bus and the roads weren’t nearly as \u00a0hilly or winding. I was picked up first so I got my choice of seats and I picked up front with the driver. There is a better chance of not getting motion sick sitting in the front, which was exactly the case for me today. There were six others on the shuttle, a Costa Rican couple celebrating their 37 wedding anniversary, a couple from Germany, and a couple from Sweden. The male in that couple had been here 52 years ago at an 18 year old in the army.\u00a0<\/p>\n
About half way we stopped for a bathroom and snack break. In the trees behind the restaurant was a private house with a couple of penned in areas with a peacock in one and a couple of Toucans in another. There were also monkeys in the trees above the parking lot along with a Scarlet Macaw! They are free to fly and hang around because the owners of the house feed them! How cool would that be to have them visit your bird feeder!<\/p>\n
It’s hot in Brasilito this afternoon. I walked on the beach with my feet in the water. It’s almost deserted – there were three other women heading back to the hotel and one family on the other end of the beach. It looks like at least two groups use the beach; four wheelers and horseback riders, judging from the tracks in the sand. I’m glad I paid the extra $5 for a\/c in my (very) basic room. I can cool off for a few minutes before going back out in the 90 degree heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
