Manuel Antonio in the Rain
Because of all the rain we were advised to pay for a tourist shuttle to take us to Manuel Antonio, rather than a bus, so that we didn’t get stranded. We were picked up at about 10:30 and by the late afternoon we were in Manuel Antonio. On the drive down, talking with the driver about the local economy, I learned that Costa Rica is an avocado producer as well and had plenty of trees to prove it.
We had planned to stay in a place right on the beach hidden far off the main road where I had stayed with some friends nine years back. The driver informed us that it had been sold and was now a restaurant. So with that news we checked into a hotel that was right up against the park the region is famous for, Manuel Antonio.
Driving down it looked like we were in store for more sun, but right before we got to Quepos, the port-town closest to Manuel Antonio, the skies got grey and by the time we arrived it was raining.
After dinner we discovered a litter of six kittens at the hotel. Unfortunately they were playing with a gigantic dead rat the momma cat had found. Em caught the attention of two of the kittens before they found the nasty prize and played with them a bit before we went to bed.
