It's our last and final day here and I started writing to all of you my dear Fromagical followers from the Quepos airport where instead of receiving the plastic laminated boarding passes today, they simply call your name when they are ready for you. Arriving two hours early? That surely is not necessary! Planes show up forty-five minutes late without any concern so make sure to have enough time to walk from the "domestic" terminal / parking lot at the San Jose airport around the corner to the international terminal, all ten gates that service the few flights leaving the country on a daily basis.
Yesterday was a day of sun, fun, hikes, waterfalls, running, and exploring. The property we were all staying on boasted three waterfalls, each accessed by a hike through the rain forest. Monkeys? Check! Huge brightly colored butterflies? Check! Neon colored frogs? Check! Breath-taking views of nature? Check! Ever been so close to a waterfall that you feel the wind radiating off of the strength of the water coming down? Up until yesterday I hadn't had the chance, but wow is it cool!
After a morning of hikes, runs, and swims, we ventured to Playa Dominical to explore -- ended up at the restaurant in town recommended to us -- Tortilla Flats. Nope, no association to the New York restaurant with the same name, but still an extensive menu of salads, sandwiches, Costa Rican specialties and more! Homemade fresh guacamole and chips, check! Freshly homemade margaritas were just the ticket. Heeping portions of food -- my half cold veggie sandwich was larger than many full sandwiches and with enough hot sauce, it was just the ticket! Avocados, tomatoes, onions, two types of cheese, lettuce, and cucumbers -- all of which were perfectly fresh and just the ticket.
