1st Anniversary

The rain came down and the floods came up, the rains came down and the floods came up.

We are in Nosara during the rainy season. Luckily,  we are staying on the second floor of a duplex. Unfortunately, the lower unit was flooded. We left town the day before our anniversary to celebrate our 1st anniversary together. We were lucky to travel before the tropical storm (two days of torrential rain) came to Nosara.

On the night of our actual anniversary the rains came pouring down. It was the most rain we experienced since we have been here.  As I was figuring out an escape plan mer was sweetly falling asleep. Sure enough the waters receded.

This was the hotel that everyone was recommending to us for a anniversary. We drove forever to get here to find out it was a bust and that they had no vacancy. "Fortunately" the sweet receptionist showed us a  very nice room that was not available. We thought it was hilarious that she would bring us all the way in to show us a room that we couldn't have. No vacancy but I will show you what you're missing out on. 

There were no rental cars available. However, there were scooters!

On the ride to Carrillo for our anniversary.

Quick stop at the mini-super.

After there was no room for Meri and Joseph (Sean) at the inn, we were lucky to stumble across a hillside hotel.. A gem. Cheap, clean, and amazing views. They even served us dinner. 

Our tasty dinner. Full red snapper and jumbo prawns. Such a spontaneous night. 

Our little gem of a hotel room. Ocean views and the breakfast was included. We were out chasing the sun going down and found such a great place. 

The monkey has large white cajones... Look close folks... Si'. Hehe
