Another fantastic, restful day.  It’s fun to see all four of
us decompress and fall into

A slower pace. We’ve spent hours today just hanging out on
the porch talking.. all four of us.. it feels so good.

Last night was out big night out.. in fact.. we consciously have
decided not to try and do to much sightseeing or socializing.. Last night was
the farmers market Buena Esparanza.. about 15 minutes up the road….  It was
pouring when we set out.. but it was fun to walk in the rain .

We had to cross a foot bridge complete with troll

the whole peninsula seemed to be at the market.. it took
place in a restraint,/ bar with a dj !.. I think there were about 30 folks
there…  (and that is  most of the peninsula)

This woman was selling homemade ice crème.. Ben/Jerry.. I you’re
reading this.. she was using your recipe book. She told me she got a laugh out
of your comment about saving spare egg whites so you can throw them away
later..  There ladies were selling homemade Kailua and chocolate.. yum
!

We had a lovely dinner (only our second dine out dinner of
the trip)..

Then walked back through the jingle in the dark.. pretty
cool and spooky..

This morning we were wakened by the  sound of Two-cans (ok..
it’s funnier when you heard it aloud)

We spent a good part of the day sea kayaking .. I couldn’t
bring my camera

It was  awesome !!!   It was like surfing. We could ride the
waves all the way across the beach..  I had a samstone in my bow and let the
waves take it when they wanted it.. they took the samstone and tumped me over but
good !.  

We all came in when it started ot rain around  noon.. we had
another huge meal..

Pizza… guacamole, hummus, cucumbers. Garlic bread, brownies..
then a nap !

The rain let up around 3 so Diane and I took a walk down the
beach.. There are amazing rock formations.. and the jungle looks right out of Jurassic
park !

We hiked to this place where the Carbonera river hits the
sea.. there’s a small fresh water pool you can swim in as you look at the
waves.. I think we say 4 other people on our entire walk.. This is really
paradise.

All day we’ve been watching the monkeys and macaws.. We had
one Macaw that sat right off our porch  and watched us during the afternoon…

And.. our friend Harold the Hawk kept a constant vigil on
our compost pile.. He’s a beautiful and constant presence in our lives here.

OK.. this is our last day in Osa.. It’s been a wonderful
stay.. tomorrow we head to Piedras Blancas and the treehouses..   . I’m going
to see if I can find some wireless to stral so I can post these entires.. It’s weird
being this offline..

More tomorrow..

Nite all.. nite Sam
