12-15Mar

12Mar was another rest day, except for our Night Tour 6PM-9PM.

Jose met us at our hotel office at 6PM, gave us our boots, and then met us minutes later at the Top Trail office in the village. From there, we walked down the hill to meet four septuagenarian men from France. We wandered onto someone's property, who Jose obviously knew, and started photographing toads and frogs. From there, we wandered into the ditch where we spent the next few hours identifying spiders, ants, and scorpions. 

13Mar was definitely a rest day. A walk to the beach and back is about all we could muster.

14Mar was a little more energetic: it turns out to be about 9KM to walk from our hotel to Cocalito Beach and back (the same walk we did on 11Mar). On the beach, we swam and rested in the shade. On the way back, we stopped for drinks at Aguila de Osa. We got back as the greatest heat of the day arrived, and hid in our air-conditioned room.

While at Aguila de Osa, we chatted with an older couple (81) who were staying at that resort. We were all surprised to learn that at 6x the price, their hotel had no A/C, while ours did. Of course, the hotel is swanky and includes 3 meals and some activities per day, but still.

15Mar Kate decided to have another snorkel day. We got up early for breakfast, and make sure she arrived at the dive shop by 6:50AM, while I took another full-on rest day
