La Playa
This morning, after eating, we checked out another hotel. We were both shocked to see the quality of the room which really was so much better it wasn’t even comparable. Better yet it was only a few bucks more. We rushed to our hotel, checked out, and headed back down to our new place. Em was ecstatic.
We spent the afternoon on the beach about 20 minutes south of Tamarindo at Playa Langosta. When we first came across the mouth of a small river hitting the sea I immediately started out across it. Em was worried about getting her camera wet to which I replied “How deep can it be? Just hold you bag up and it won’t get wet.”
A minute later I was walking in water that was a good 6 inches over my head and holding my bag up as high as I could praying it wouldn’t get wet (though knowing if the water got any deeper it would be soaked). All the time I was jumping up and down gasping for air when my mouth would momentarily reach the surface as the current pushed me out towards the sea. Once again Em was right and I was wrong.
After braving the river again (luckily I found a place to cross that was only chest deep) and we laid out a towel and took in some sun on the practically deserted beach. Tonight we had pizza and watch the sunset at a local restaurant and shortly afterwards called it a night.
