Costa Rica (day three)
Today we decided to go surfing. The surf at Playa Hermosa was still pretty while Jaco beach had barely any waves. So, of we went down south to a beach at Bejuco. Trevor and I hit the water for some good times. Even though I had a long board, it was still kind of short for me. Although, I bet that would not make much difference since it was my second time surfing ever. After a while I was able to catch and ride some good waves and it a lot of fun actually feeling the power of a wave carrying you forward. We stayed out there for a couple of hours until we could no longer take the sun burn and the wave battering.
Once we got back, we got some Tiki food and Trevor’s dad arranged a canoe and snorkeling trip for us. It was just me and Trevor plus the guide and went into the ocean canoeing around the pretty rocky coast for what seemed like forever until we got to a small beach. We dumped the canoes on the beach and went snorkleing. The watter was not clear at all, I could not see past my hands so we had to really dive down to get up close to the rocks and fishes to be able to see them. It was still a good time, just does not compare to the Caribbean. Afterwards we had some pineapple and water melon on the beach while harrasing a bunch of red crabs climbing up the trees. Canoeing back was somewhat more exciting since we were trying to beat the comming storm, but it actually did not rain that night.
In the evening we had another dinner at Trevor’s dad’s and went back to the villa. I was really burned up and was starting to feel that. I went in to put some lotion and the second time I did that, I realized it was not a lotion, but some sort of a hair conditioner. Oopsie, no wonder it was still burning… Needless to say, I used up plenty of aloe in the next few days.
