Costa Rica 2022, Day 11

Monday, February 21 Instead of going out for breakfast today, we ordered in ahead of time. Two women brought us an amazing meal and set it up for us. It included eggs, pancakes, yogurt, granola, hash browns and back bacon. There was so much food we ended up saving a lot of it for theContinue reading “Costa Rica 2022, Day 11”

Costa Rica 2022, Day 9

Saturday, February 19 Today was our last full day at Tango Mar. I was feeling energetic so I went for a run on the beach before breakfast. For you Strava users, I became the “local legend” of this beach segment! Mike came with me to take some pictures. After taking some pictures of this LimpkinContinue reading “Costa Rica 2022, Day 9”

Costa Rica 2022, Day 5

Tuesday, February 15 Today was a quiet day. I had had very little sleep since I had been sick the night before. I felt a bit better in the morning and was fine to go on a long drive. We were heading to our second location – the south east side of the Nicoya Peninsula.Continue reading “Costa Rica 2022, Day 5”

Costa Rica 2022, Day 4

Monday, February 14: Valentine’s Day! Today would be our most action packed day ever! We booked the tour ahead of time through our hotel, Hacienda Guachipelin.

After breakfast weContinue reading “Costa Rica 2022, Day 4”

Costa Rica 2022, Day 2

Saturday, February 12 The nightly rate at Guachipelin included breakfast so we headed over to the restaurant when it opened at 6:30.

Costa Rica 2022, Day 3

Sunday, February 13 Today was another day of exploring on our own. We were very happy to have a car because we had three different places to visit.

Costa Rica 2022, Day 1

Friday, February 11 I was so excited to be heading back to Costa Rica! We didn’t travel in 2021 because of the pandemic. Last May we booked this trip for February 2022 hoping it would be over. It wasn’t, and I thought about postponing our trip but with all the safety measures in place weContinue reading “Costa Rica 2022, Day 1”

Costa Rica 2020, Day 14

Monday, March 2 Today, sadly, was our last full day in Costa Rica. We had two exciting tours planned for today. While waiting for the restaurant to open we walked around and took a few pictures. We started the day with breakfast at TuleCafe. This morning we tried a different egg dish – it wasContinue reading “Costa Rica 2020, Day 14”

Costa Rica 2020, Day 13

Sunday, March 1 Today we were supposed to be going on an adventure tour to do ziplining and rappelling. A couple of days earlier I received an email asking if we could change our date but being at the end of the trip it wasn’t possible. We ended up having an unexpected free day butContinue reading “Costa Rica 2020, Day 13”

Costa Rica 2020, Day 12

Saturday, February 29 Today we said goodbye to Drake Bay and the Osa Peninsula. We gathered our things and Erik drove us down to the restaurant where we had our breakfast each morning. It is right on the beach so we could wait here for the ferry that would take us back to Sierpe. AgainContinue reading “Costa Rica 2020, Day 12”
