Jo slept in this morning so when she finally got up we headed into town for breakfast which is our plan for every 2nd day. In between we'll walk in and have supper. Breakfast here consists of granola, yogurt, and fresh pineapple & bananas. Lunch and supper is sandwiches laced with peppers, guacamole etc. We ate at the internet cafe and after calling Lance, Maggie and the kids on skype I updated the blog and facebook, left Jo with the computer and then headed out to do the shopping. First it was groceries, then cigars (which I found cheaper than I'd paid in the past), then it was to the bank which is something you don't do on a Monday morning. That took care of an hour. I mentioned to Jim how inefficient they were and he said he didn't mind as last year there was no bank and they had to go all the way into Nicoya to do their banking. Good point. I'll never bitch at the credit union again. Leaving the bank I headed out to find some dvd's so I could download my pics as a backup. Lucked out and got two for $1.50. I now have about 6 or 7 dvd's containing backup for all my pics and I keep them in a separate backpack in case the mac gets stolen.
I got back to the internet cafe and Jo was still there plugging away. We headed back to the room with our groceries which had since reached their expiry date and had a rum and coke and a little hammock time.
By 4 pm the tide had really started to come in. By 5 pm the dry creek bed next door was filled with tidal water and the dead palm branches were all bobbing. I've taken some pictures of the high tide and it's my goal to take some more in the morning from the same vantage point showing low tide.
