We've been skipping about Puerto Vajito and Cahuita Costa Rica for the past 4 or 5 days. Lots to see and do. Miles of walks on the beachs and back roads and hippie boutiques to roam through - bought a $5.00 dress.
In Puerto Vajito we stayed in a beach parking lot but it is a bit of a party town and was on the loud side. We enjoyed swimming altho I got a bit nervous once as the under-tow proved stronger then me. Luckily Sterling was playing in the nearby surf. Later that day I saw a Red Flag which meant no swimming but it seemed as though everyone else was. Oh well.
We especially loved the beach parking lot as there was lots of things to watch, soccer, picnics, coconut shucking, bus-stop action, waves, a beautiful tree providing shade to lots of local families who came and went. We stayed for 2 days and nights but moved on up the coast, heading north to a smaller town called Cohito. This town was recommended to us by Gary Moise, one of our first stops on this trip. Gary comes and spends winter here and we can see why - it's one of our favorite spots too.
We're staying in a Reggee Bar & Motel Courtyard. Electric, wi-fi, toilet, shower for just $3.00 per person. It's a lovely spot right across from the Playa Negro (black sand beach). The water is changing into beautiful aqua Caribbean colors today in the sunshine - the waves really pound the shore here. There is no tide in this area which is strange to me but it is apparently the reason the waves are so large and swimming is not recommended.
I'm distracted tonite with the Reggee Music and Fireworks - gotta go celebrate! Happy 2012!~
