La Fortuna, Costa Rica





 After a relaxing breakfast we made our way over to the El Choyin River/hot springs. 

First we had to wait for the cattle to cross the busy road…



We parked along the road near the expensive Tabacon resort/spa. It’s supposed to be public property. But the entrepreneurs were out in force, promising to “watch” your car. They wanted $10….Duane was a pro…said no and closed the car door. The guy came back and after two haggles we agreed to give him $4….

The river was just lovely and comfortably warm  

We all relaxed and chatted for a couple of hours!




Look close at this photo😀

We went back to the Airbnb to clean up and grab a quick lunch.  We were surprisingly filthy with lots of black volcanic sand sticking to us in unmentionable places, haha.  We did a long excursion trying to find a sloth in the rental car but were unsuccessful.  

I did want to show you a neat condiment storage method.  We love mustard in a sandwich but had trouble finding it at the grocery store.  Finally found it!  A little different than US type.

Supper out at another “soda” restaurant. It just means family owned local place.



I have been ordering a “casado” meal at each little restaurant.  They all offer it and it’s slightly different at each one.



When we finished our meals, the waitress offered each of us a gratis spicy Bloody Mary shot.  Fun end to the evening!
