Paradise found

I couldn’t stay away from my favorite surf town Tamarindo for long. I headed there today as I was feeling much better from the antibiotics. But…on the way I made a wrong turn and ended up here in Playa Grande. A tiny, quirky place with this only shop, so I had to stop. This is the best surf shop I’ve come across in all of Costa Rica.  They have the best gear for the big waves, so many things I’ve never seen before. So I had to get these flip flops

The directional signs aren’t the best, so it was easy to make this wrong turn  I’m so glad I did, because I discovered this place which I know is popular with locals and die hard surfers.  It is so out of the way.

I left after a while, too long so I could get to my favourite surf town Tamarindo. Tamarindo has it all, and I just had to take the venture while I waited for the dentist.

That’s Marty whom I met at LAX while waiting for our connection.  Never thought I’d see him again, but…

Finally arrived in Tamarindo. It’s such a popular spot and quickly becoming the go to spot for visitors. Crowded, narrow streets, but the most beautiful people you’ll find here. It’s only 57 Kilometres from my home base in Playas del Coco. Tamarindo has been calling me back since my first visit. Even though it’s crowded, it has everything. The best restaurants, the best quirky hotels, and some nice people.  I did find that my home in Coco is more friendly, I love Tamarindo.

Needed a change of scenery and I can't think of a better place than Costa Rica at this time. I come from Lake Tahoe and what a contrast from my recent life. From skiing to surfing in the warm waters of the Pacific.
