Today we spent the day on the beach in Manuel Antonio. We started with a great breakfast (very cheap with tons of food).
We then went looking for a new hostel. We are in a prime location (a hop skip and a jump from the beach) so we didn't want to go far (the girls wanted to be more social...) We found a place for the 7th so booked one more day at hotel Villa Prats.
We went to the beach and rented a surf board. The goal was for Chelsea to teach Tash and I since she lived in Hawaii and California for part of her life . She started on the waves alone and was out there for about an hour. She then took Tash out but the waves got too big so Tash had to stop which meant I didn't get to try. #fail. Hopefully we get to go out another day!
Our day at the beach wasn't ruined however. We rented chairs and enjoyed the sunshine. The views here were absolutely incredible!
After laying out we wandered along the road side of the beach and found a spot for lunch. We then stopped for drinks at a little bar near there. The bar advertised happy hour 2 for 1 drinks, so we ordered-- little did we know they would bring each of us 2 drinks right then! We asked if we could wait for our second until after we finished our first but the bartender had very strict rules. #ChugLife
After our midday happy hour, we headed home to shower before heading to the town of Quepos, which was recommended to us by one of the locals on the beach. We hopped on the public bus in the pouring rain- cue Jaclyn in her bright pink poncho. We got there and it was absolutely dead. Most all of the shops were closed. We had to wander to even find an open restaurant. Luckily we found one and I got to try ceviche for the first time. Mmm Mmm delicious!
After dinner we searched out the club that was recommended to us but found that it didn't open until 10pm--- WHAT?! We were way too old for this shit! There was a literal padlock on the door, so we knew that these bouncers wouldn't be budging. Although we didn't embrace the party life, we did tap into our adventurous sides and instead of taking a sanctioned taxi home, took a pirate one. Wooo! Home and in bed by 10pm is the life for us!
