Costa Rica Story #8: Leaving Tamarindo

Costa Rica Post #8 of 14

After four days at the beach of Tamarindo, it was time to go home...

So we packed up our stuff and loaded it in the car, and made one more stop by Eat At Joe's, our new favorite place to eat in Tamarindo, where they advertise "Nachos as Big as your @$$!" (That still makes me laugh hysterically no matter how many times I read it.) Although, actually, it was the fish tacos and the prices that we loved, not the nachos.


We sat in the shade of the grass hut, looking out over the ocean, watching our tan baby play, while drinking mango smoothies and ignoring the inevitable loud americans at the next table.

The afternoon we left was particularly bright, calm and relaxing, and the breeze seemed to whisper "Come back sooooooooon....."

So with sunburns on our noses...

...and a tired pre-toddler in the car seat...

...we headed back to the metropolis of San Jose and got ready to celebrate New Year's Day!
