04/12: Slack Day

Posted by: The Agnew Family
I mentioned watching a wedding last night, what I didn't tell you was we saw two other wedding parties come into the hotel. I think there may have been three receptions at the hotel last night. At least one of them had a lot of “base” in their music. We couldn't really hear the music in the room but we could hear the “boom, boom”. I think we were pretty tired, as we went to bed about 9 pm and fell asleep quickly even with the noise.
Today was our extra day and we decided to make it a lazy one. We went down to breakfast around 8:30 and enjoyed a wonderful buffet which included fresh pastries, fresh seasonal fruit, beef tips, rice and beans, bacon, eggs (not me), cheese, cold cuts, Costa Rican coffee, etc. After breakfast we spent a bit of time organizing our luggage as we need an overnight bag for the next two nights (our main suitcase will meet up with us on Wednesday). Once that chore was done we decided to go for a walk. Unfortunately, it rained while we were walking but we still managed about a 2 hour walk around the subdivision by the hotel.
First a few photos of the hotel
the lobby
a view of the pool area from a second floor balcony
one of the many flowers in the hallway gardens
On our walk we found a pond that had a number of ducks in it. This mom and her babies were really cute and fun to watch.
I have a feeling there's going to be lots of flower photos on this trip.
The area we walked around had several golf course and some amazing homes. We couldn't believe it when we came across this view of the dump.
One of the amazing homes we saw. One scarey part was the gates, fences and bars that we on every home. We also passed a number of what I think are security guards in small huts through the neighbourhoods.
Interesting palm tree with a red nut.
