Thursday, March 15, 2012 - First Full Day of Vacation!

 Comfy beds made for a fairly good night’s sleep, woke up a few times, probably because of the sugar in all the wine I drank last night. Slowly made our way down to breakfast, which was a lovely buffet with lots of fruit, poached eggs in a sauce, and, of course, the Costa Rican requirement, Gallo Pinto, a black beans and rice concoction that is the national breakfast food. Afterwards, we relaxed in the room awhile, before finally getting into our bathing suits and heading for the pool, where we enjoyed a few hours of sun and sauna, then came back and showered before heading down to the bar for ice cream and coffee for lunch (albeit at nearly 4:00), then came back to our lovely room and sat on the balcony for awhile before it got too chilly (we’re practically next to the equator, who’d have thought it would be this cool?), had a bit of brandy before heading out to dinner here in the hotel. Had a fabulous piece of bass, while Hubby had a beautiful curry chicken. Came back to the room and relaxed for the evening, doing some packing and watching some HBO with Spanish subtitles (we’ve been practicing all afternoon and evening), before heading off the bed for an early morning call.
