Matt and I enjoyed the last evening in Costa Rica at Mauna Loa Surf Resort by walking to the beach once more to take some photos and marvel at God's beauty. We also went to Sauer's love: Lola's Restaurant where he got a fruit smoothie and enjoyed it with fantastic views of the Pacific. At sunset we walked back to the resort for pizza (we were going to eat at Lola's but it was closed). The food at Mauna Loa was great! I got a Margarita Pizza and Sauer ordered a Hawaiian. It was a very thin crust and they also brought us spices, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. During the meal, we also played a game of chess, which ended in a stalemate ha.
We would have liked to continue hanging out at the outdoor eating area, but the bugs were feisty. Thus, we walked over to the pool, which stays lit up at night, to stick our feet in and chat for a while before heading back to our cabina. There were many frogs hanging out at the pool.
After the pool we went back to the room to read a bit, watch movies, and enjoy the A/C. Sauer also took the opportunity to make fun of me (and deservedly so) because I have opted to not lift my arms for any reason because my shoulders, triceps, and upper back remain badly burned. (As I write this - noon of the next day I feel much, much better). I just hope that this will not be an issue when I begin hiking with a heavy pack on the 1st of June... So we set our alarms for 6:30 AM and hit the hay.
Side Note: Everyone native to Costa Rica is nice and helpful. I believe that I read somewhere that it is the happiest country in the world and I believe it. They may not have money or smooth roads, but dang they're happy. :)
