Yesterday, when the hubby got back from surfing, we decided to just hang out on the beach. While the kiddos and he were playing in the ocean, I decided to go for a run. The entire beach is about 1.5 miles long. That's it in the picture above. Running on the beach is much harder than I thought but how cool is it to say that I ran 3 miles on a beach in Costa Rica. I likey! Also, I rewarded myself with one of these afterward:
We went into town for lunch and a little bit of shopping. For those of you that don't like "Mexican style" food, there are franchise restaurants down here, like Subway and KFC. We ate a local restaurant. The food was really good. Here's a pic of the girls outside of the restaurant:
While we were eating, locals would walk into the restaurant off the streets selling stuff. The restaurant owners didn't say anything to them. In the states, they would be ran right out of the restaurant and the cops called! Anywho, this one guy was selling these really cool whistles. The girls both bought one. Here's a pic of the girls playing their whistles with the guy selling them (I was LOVING the Billy Ray Cyrus hair!!!):
Of course, after eating lunch, we needed a dessert. We had ice cream from a place called Pops. If you ever come to Jaco, you HAVE to have a milkshake from Pops! Braums and Baskin Robbins (even Reeves-Sain for all of you 'Boro folks) can't even compete with Pops!!!
The girls did a little more shopping. They found these cute little coconut monkey purses. They brought some of their Christmas money on the trip and it was burning a hole in their pockets. Here's a pic of their "finds" for the day:
The rest of the day was just a relaxing hang by the beach and pool day. We didn't do anything super exciting. However, this is what we saw at the end of the day:
A girl could get used to this very quickly!!!
(P.S. Hubby is surfing again this morning. Hopefully, he can blog something later.)
