It's our last day and we had accomplished everything on our list except for one item. Carter really wanted to have a drink in a pineapple on the beach. We had really liked the beach at Playa Conchal so we went for the morning. This time we picked the other parking lot guy to take our money. He also appears to look after the beach horses and the ATV's. It seems you have to have more than one hustle if you want to be successful in Costa Rica. We parked our car beside the horses and walked down to the beach.
It was much windier today so we found a spot in the trees in the shade and Carter and I went to the pineapple drink guy. Kerry had spoken to him to ask the price but didn't get a clear answer. When I went I only had a single bill and coincidentally that's exactly how much it was. Callie thinks I paid too much and set the price for the day because she had to pay the same amount later. The drinks were well presented though Carter's had a shell in it and Callie's tasted like alcohol from the previous pineapple. Good thing we all got our hepatitis boosters.
We came back to the condo and sorted out prepping for the next tenants. There is a gap between rentals and I met a guy from Calgary in one of the other units who needed to extend his stay by a few days so we had to arrange to have the place turned over to them. Carter and Kerry headed out a bit before us and went to a local brew pub. The owners are from California and Texas and they are expanding because they ran out of beer recently. What I tasted was very good and Kerry met some new America friends who indicated they were embarrassed by their President. (Kerry didn't even ask.)
Dinner was at a castle themed open air restaurant just down the street. We were quite early so we got our choice of table and time with the restaurant cat. The food was absolutely delicious including dessert. They only have two dessert items on the menu, an orange Creme Brulee and a Guinness chocolate cheese cake so we ordered one of each for the four of us. We missed the actual sunset but still had time to take in the last bits of the Costa Rica daylight. We didn't know what to expect when we came but it really is a great place to visit. We highly recommend it.
