Today started early with the house sitter coming for 6am so we could leave for the coast. We promised Gregory for his 10th birthday we would spend it at the beach. And what a beach we were headed to – Playa Grande!
The car we purchased handled well on the road and we made good time. We checked into the hotel we booked – RipJacks – and gave Gregory his birthday present – a Fuji digital camera which is shock and water proof. His face was priceless.
After a day boogey boarding, sunning on the beach and the pool, we took Gregory to an Italian restaurant – Cafe de Pueblo – which was only 5 minutes away. He loves his pasta! Walter and I ordered the ‘tenderloin’ special. It melted in our mouths! Another complaint we’ve heard is that you can’t get a good steak here. Walter and I both agreed we will certainly mark this down has great!
At one point I was in the pool and met a lady from Arizona. She asked me where we were from. I paused and answered, originally Canada but now from here. It felt good.
A house sitter for a day at the beach?
So happy you finally found sunshine!!
God blesd you!

LOL – yep, this is what is recommended you do if you are leaving your house for the day or overnight. Luckily the reputable person we hired does this regularly and charges CRC 300,000 per day. This translates to approximately US$6 per day. Fairly reasonable for peace of mind (especially when it is not my house!).
