Costa Rica Puerto Viejo Day 17

We beached at Punta Uva today - voted one of the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world.  We found a little spot sheltered by a coral reef so we could sit on the steep slope of the beach and let the water calmly wash over us.  The beach DJ played some chill reggae (reggae plays everywhere in Puerto Viejo) and we played in the sand for a few hours.

What interesting sand.  It is so soft and fluffy and it was golden brown.

We tried getting chips and salsa with our beers and fruity drinks but we ended up with yucca chips and some mayo dill dip but it was awesome.

We went to Nadia and Antonio's house for a visit, they are the owners of our villa.  The moved from Italy 5 years ago and say that life in Costa Rica has been a dream come true for them.  They built their house and 3 villas that they rent out.

I am inspired to learn Spanish.  I was sort of able to have a noun-only conversation with our taxi driver today.  It is very similar to French - I was on fire recognizing the words and coming up with some myself!
