Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday....

Tuesday:
We finally made it to the beach!  We swam in the ocean and hung out for a few hours.  After grabbing a late lunch, we rested and cat napped.  At 5 we took a sunset walk.  It took about 15-20 minutes to get to the top of the mountain where we hung around to see the sunset.  It was beautiful, but of course we forgot our camera at the resort.  Haha!  That night we ate at the hotel's Italian restaurant.  I ordered the salmon carpaccio and then the beef lasagna.  I actually liked the beef lasagna more than the salmon!  David enjoyed his meal, but wasn't sure how Italian it really was...
Wednesday:
Unfortunately, David did not get great sleep because of a wicked stomach ache.  I bought him some medicine, then hung out by the pool until 11.  When I went back to check on him he was awake, but still not feeling great.  After a couple hours, we finally had him eat some plain pasta, rice, and bread.  David realized around 4:30 that this stomach pain was probably his diverticulitis flaring up again.  We quickly got a cab, went back to Coco beach, and bought him some antibiotics that were suggested on the internet for treating diverticulitis. Needless to say, we did not spend much time outside yesterday but we did finish the first season of Arrested Development! Thanks Zeb and Andrew! :)
Thursday:
David was able to get a good night's sleep since the antibiotic started kicking in immediately.  We had to be in the lobby at 7:45 this morning for our boat excursion to the rainforest.  He was very nauseous due to taking the medicine on an empty stomach and for the first 30 minutes of the bus trip, I thought he was going to pass out. Luckily his stomach wasn't in pain and the nauseousness disappeared soon enough for him to enjoy the entire boat ride. There was almost 20 people on the jungle boat including our tour guide and the driver.  We saw crocodiles, birds, and monkeys even came onto the boat!  The driver was feeding them apples (which is not encouraged) but man did I get some great pictures!  A monkey literally brushed my arm at one point!  We were back to our resort at around 1:15 so we had lunch and chilled by the pool until sunset.  It is super windy outside and seems like it might rain, so we are waiting it out until our 9:00 dinner reservation at the Italian restaurant again.  We are due to check out tomorrow at noon, but our van to take us back to the airport isn't coming until 11 p.m.  Thankfully, the resort already told us they would give us another room to shower in tomorrow before we leave.  What a deal!  Now we just have to deal with the 3 1/2 - 4 hour drive back to San Jose.  Wish us luck!
