Today was picture perfect. White sand beaches, tiny islands as far as the eye can see, clear blue waters and snorkeling. We left for Isla Tortuga this morning, a bit hazy still from the rum we drank last night- and set off on a boat for snorkeling. Costa rica has its own rules regarding time, so i got to take a half hour nap before we took off. We saw all sorts of fishies, and then went to a beautiful white sand beach for lunch. One of our guides made a beautiful fruit tray with fresh pineapples, sandias, bananas and orananges- and even put beautiful yellow flowers as a garnish for the fruits. We ate barbecued fish and potatoes- and had ice cold imperials.
There was a beautiful parrot - it was red, blue and yellow- that chilled by the local gift shop. Then we chilled with our guides and had rum and coke by the beach. I swam for a while and then we took a kayak the next cove. We found so many shells - my favorite was a GIANT oyster shell the size of my hand. Zuhayer and I brought back the kayak just in time and did yoga on the beach for a few minutes. I then continued to swim around until the guides told us that we needed to leave. We got to jump in the ocean and swim around halfway between Isla Tortuga and Montezuma. Then we chilled by the beach in montezuma and i promised our guides that i would return one day- our captain is known for catching giant sailfish and he promised me a discount for my birthday.
We are thinking about heading to Samara tomorrow or at least to playa hermosa. We never did see those waterfalls- but ive decided that i really like Montezuma- at least when its not the weekend. Less spring breakers.
I love the barter system here. Cant go into details- but its very similar to jackson hole. Bring a little rum to the beach, share with the locals, and very good things come your way. :)
