This weekend's excursion is at Playa Tamarindo (beach). It is by far my favorite excursion we have been on! It's also the last one we are going on. The beach and pool area is beautiful and the gentle wind through the palm trees and the sounds of birds chirping and water falling is so relaxing! I started my morning off with a 6am walk along the beach while my roommate went for a run - I collected a lot of shells, watched baby hermit crabs crawl away from the tide, and admired the sunrise as the sky turned from pink to baby blue. After that, I had a hearty breakfast and had a one-hour beachside massage! That was very relaxing and almost put me to sleep. Afterwards, my roommate and I explored the town around the resort, had a falafel pita for lunch, and came back and lounged by the pool under the palm trees. I then came back to the room and slept for an hour... Best nap I've had in awhile :-) around 5:45pm, my friends and I watched the sun set over the ocean on the beach and it was so pretty! Then we had dinner at a traditional Costa Rican restaurant and it was SO GOOD! After that, we walked along the road with the shops and boutiques, eating gelato. When we got back to our rooms, we realized there was a wedding reception in the area right outside of our balcony doors. My roommate and I opened the doors and listened to the music until the reception was over. We are keeping the doors open because there is a nice breeze that will keep us cool. Goodnight!
