It was a good trip. We had a stopover in Panama City (airport only) on the way back. From the air, Panama City is a modern, skyscraper vista, and there were hundreds of freighters in the ocean waiting to go through the canal.
I don't have many interesting pictures. My pals saw monkeys, but all I saw were the branches waving as they travelled from treetop to treetop. In our locale, they were black howler monkeys and we had no idea of the loud roaring they make. Very eerie.
This is a common view in C.R.
The rainy season had been good, so everything was green. Sometimes, that doesn't happen and last year they even had fires.
We stayed just outside Coco Beach on the Pacific, but that beach is busy with tourists and fishing boats, so we sunned (I burned) on Hermosa Beach, which was nearby. The beaches have dark sand. The water was very warm.
Cookie, who was raised by the owners. They have an animal rescue org called Ditch Dogs and had five dogs and numerous cats roaming the place. All the dogs I saw looked similiar--medium-sized, flop-earred, short-haired, houndish. The cats all looked long-legged & tailed, short-haired, big-earred and skinny.
Main patio area. Owners live upstairs. They would bbq supper every night, for whomever wanted to show up and chip in. We cooked our own breakfasts in the villa. I tried (tuna) sushi. Apparently, it was good. I can, at least, say I've tried it.
There were 18 villas on the side of a hill, in the rainforest.
