Acting Like Tourists

We took the day off yesterday and drove 1.5 hours North to Jaco beach, a popular beach town and surfing destination. The waves aren't much right now so it wasn't overrun with surfers as far as we could tell. To get there you pass through Quepos then a typical Costa Rican town called Parrita. I spyed this babe on the street in Parrita and couldn't resist taking here photo. The hair really sets off the colors in her blouse don't you think?

We walked around Jaco for a while looking in shops. We drove to the beach and decided it was simply too hot to go in the ocean, though the beach in Jaco is lovely. Then we drove a little further to visit the resort community and marina of Los Suenos. Los Suenos is probably one of the most expensive areas in Costa Rica at least on the Pacific side. They have a golf course, restaurants, a prive beach club. You get the idea I am sure. Here are some shots.

Golf course just beyond the road with large homes and condos beyond.

Very high tech lift pulling this boat out of storage. I wonder if they drag them in and out daily as requested? There are so many all stacked like books on a shelf.

Mike and some gringos walking along the boardwalk.

Los Suenos is situationed in a bit of a sheltered cove rather that sitting on the straight edge of coastine open to the sea directly. Most of the beaches here are just straight without shelter. Since it is lunchtime we decided to head back to Jaco for fish tacos. About 4 years a go signs for a fish taco restaurant started appearing everywhere. The signs put the idea in our heads so of course we have to go.

 

Jacobar turns out to have great tacos and an all you can eat salad bar to go with it. My favorite part is the seating. Notice that I ams sitting on a swing with my feet resting on a bar. The breeze was blowing, we were in the shade and cool. Ahh..
