Costa Rica day 59 Mar. 7 Samara


We ate a quick breakfast, got packed and called a taxi as we were anxious to get to our new place. It's really nice and Jim again made us familiar with everything we needed to know. The place is quite large and has shutters on all the windows. The safe is under the master bed but too small to be of any use to us other than our passports and money (if we had any)
We unpacked and began making up a shopping list. We then hung one of our hammocks up on the deck where there is a nice breeze. You can't really see the ocean from the balcony due to the trees in front which provide shade but you can certainly here the crashing waves as it's only about 100'.
I introduced myself to a lady about our age who rents the only other unit. She is Norwegian and is translating something from English to Scandinavian. She's been here about two months and speaks very good English
About noon we headed down the beach for the 10 minute walk to the grocery store. I took one of the backpacks as we had quite a list. Now that we have the fridge filled up and a new bottle of rum we're all set. Tomorrow I think we'll head into town and have breakfast and then go to the wireless place to get things caught up. It's very quiet here so far and everyone speaks English. Col. Klink and his buddies will have to find someone else to irritate now.
We went to the beach around 4:30 but from here the actual sunset isn't visible although I still managed to get some good pictures. By six pm it's totally dark so we came back, made a sandwich and then listened to a few more chapters of the audio book I'd downloaded before we left. Jo lasted for about a half an hour and then it was lights out. She didn't sleep very well last night as the nazis were making a racket and kept her awake. They're worse than the dogs. We'll see what tonight holds in store
