Coco Beach outing

Yesterday, David realized he really needed some allergy medicine (we were hoping his allergies would not be bad in Costa Rica but they are) so the concierge arranged a taxi with someone who spoke English!  We went to Coco Beach which was only 15 minutes away.  We bought some souvenirs from different little shops and we walked to the beach to take some pictures.  Our driver recommended a seafood restaurant for lunch and we are so glad we went!  Everything we had was great.  We started off with a small Caesar salad with garlic bread.  The dressing was different than a normal Caesar, but still delicious.  Then, we had sea bass ceviche (Sp?). It was so fresh and tasty!  We ended with a grilled seafood plate including shrimp, mussels, octopus or squid, fish, and vegetables.  Everything was cooked to perfection and there was so much food!!  We drank a couple beers with lunch and then headed back to our resort.  We hung out by the pool a little bit in the afternoon and it was the perfect temperature. We also went to get our couple's massage (Thanks Val, Jason, Zeb, and Andrew!) which almost put both of us to sleep! There was a long line for dinner so we had a few drinks in the upstairs lounge, and then had an okay dinner (especially compared to lunch!).  Today we are planning on finally hitting the beach for an extended period of time and then doing a sunset walk that is organized by the resort. Our excursion should either be tomorrow with a hike through a rainforest, or on Thursday which would be a boat ride through the rainforest.  David and I are excited for either of them, but it just depends on how many people sign up for them.  Love you all!
