Tuesday we woke up super early thanks to the sun shining at full force by 6:00. We packed up the car with the surfboard and drove about 15 minutes to Playa Grande. Neal played around on the waves with the Ticos (what Costa Ricans call themselves) and I enjoyed some quiet time on the beach with my Kindle.
We were there an hour an a half or so then headed back to the Paradisus for breakfast. Plantains, anyone? After a morning nap, it was back to the pool for a Dirty Monkey or two or six. Another nap and then it was time to get ready for dinner. We had reservations at the Mexican restaurant. We walked out of the villa and it started raining, the only rain we saw all week. We embraced the "Pura Vida" Costa Rican lifestyle and ran throught the rain to the restaurant. Thank God for ponytails because my hair was resembling that of Monica's in the Friends' Barbados episode. I had my concerns knowing that the food wouldn't be Tex-Mex like we're used to. They met us at the door with a shot of mango tequila. Tasty! The maragaritas were pretty delicious as well. The food turned out to be excellent. They even served chips, guacamole & salsa which is rare in other countries. After dinner, we went back to the casino at Flamingo Beach. I used my same bet of 3-26-11 for Roulette. Unfortunately, this night was not as lucky and both of us lost our $20 quickly.
