My first time touching the pacific was at night on the beach with tons of new friends. I love the beach at night (everyone likes the beach during the day) because it has a hidden beauty. The beach during the day is very visual, at night you remember the important sounds and smells of the beach. It was nice to meet new people and hang out at the beach, we also went to a great little club called Mono. Mono had a lot of Tico's (locals) so it was very interesting to watch how ticos interact with each other in a social setting like a club. Some people are very nice, while others are...different. I enjoyed it a lot and stayed up way too late!!!! In fact it was so late that those of us who knew Spanish pretty well were stuck explaining to a lady who was staying in the hotel with her kids that some of our friends were quite drunk and we were very sorry for being so loud. She threatened to call the Police and everything calmed down~yikes. New friends: Katlyn, Erin, and I shared a room and woke up very early to eat and go to the beach. Oh what a "beach" it was waking up so early! I am very thankful we got up to get a nice, free breakfast and catch the early rays which burn the hell out of you. The beach was beautiful and had mountains to the left in the far distance and to right closer to the beach. I felt as if we were in a so called "bay" although I was corrected by many that we were just in a more secluded/surrounded area. A bay? No? Okay, fine. The day was awesome we went back and forth from the beach to our hotel pool across the way. One can only take so much sand, salt, and sun in one day. After lunch around 3 Danielle, Emily, and I went searching for a place to eat on the beach to watch the sunset. We were in the perfect part of Costa Rica to watch the sun set because it would set to the left of the "bay"/beach that I mentioned before...Down the beach we found a restaurant called Bary Restaurante which was an outdoor restaurant. All the tables and chairs were on the sand~it was beautiful. The waiters didn't believe that we were going to bring a group of at least 15 and promised us all Mojitos if we completed our mission:we came back with at least 30 people. It was a beautful event to watch the sun set and eat with friends. We had a great time and then went back to the hotel. We went to a club that night and Danielle was in the bikini contest (cause the girls got guts!) and she looked great! We also took some other Unitedstatsian friends that we met at the hotel from California, their father was with them on the trip and I think he had a great time at the club with us. Overall the weekend was great, although my friends from California bought me one too many Corona's and the bus ride home on Sunday wasn't completely awful although not smooth sailing either. We returned to San Jose 8 hours later with the skies spitting rain and I was thankful to see it here rather than at the beach. Great Weekend, this next weekend at the beach Puerto Viejo should be a great time as well!
