We started our day with a bit of a detour into Playa Flamingo. It's a peninsula to the left of where we are staying so the main road doesn't go directly through it. Our main goal was to do a drive by of the beach to look for parking and to check out what appears to be a new Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet. We were quite suspicious because it's not on his main website and the menu didn't include a 'Cheeseburger in Paradise'. After some more digging we've discovered it is legit but it hasn't had it's official opening yet. It's a re-branding of another hotel. We will still check it out before we leave.
We only had one item on the agenda today and that was to go back to Tamarindo for some souvenir shopping. Carter has Colons in his pocket and wanted to spend them. He's enjoying doing the conversions between Colons, American and Canadian so he knows if he's getting a good deal or not. We picked up a parrot, a sloth and a frog shaped instrument of some kind. I tried to convince him that he doesn't have to spend all his money at once but he really wanted that frog.
The rest of the day was uneventful. Or perhaps it was eventful but I was napping really hard and didn't see anything happen. We had hamburgers and grilled pineapple for dinner and watched the sunset from our deck. We haven't seen any scary insects yet but there are a lot of creatures out there. There is some sort of bug that likes to sing in unison and the air is often filled by bright green dragon flies. Our biggest disappointment has been the lack of colourful birds. I think we expected to have parrots dive bombing us. I suppose the mourning doves on our deck will have to do.
