Days 7 & 8--Saturday & Sunday in Costa Rica


Saturday, Day 7: "SCUBA Steve and Sally"
As our trip came to a close we didn't get lazy and stop taking pictures, we were just underwater. I have "borrowed" a few pictures to help illustrate the day. Our dives held sightings of four white-tipped sharks and a HUGE manta ray. Af first I had no clue as to what our dive guide was pointing to (I thought it was a rock) then it moved and I forgot to breathe for a bit...not a good thing when you are 40 feet under water.

After the dives we just spent some time relaxing and enjoying the amenities of the hotel. Tomorrow holds a journey home, one we were both reluctant to take.
The place we did one of our dives was just on the other side of this "island" of sorts.


The only dive shop in the area. The dive masters were knowledgeable and fun. They had yummy snacks, too.
I wish I had an underwater camera so that I could have snapped a shot of the manta ray that was about 12 feet wide.

These guys are shy creatures who just wanted us to leave them alone. After petting his tail, I was happy to comply.

Sunday, Day 8: Our Final Day
As we made our way out of town, we snapped a few pictures of the resort since it was so beautiful. . .Los Suenos attracts those seeking relaxation, fishing, and golf.

I love the pictures, Amers!! This is a great blog. It's especially fun to see pictures of your family on the side (I'll have to email you to figure out how to do it). Keep listening to Kevin & Bean!! Would love to see you sometime (the fishing up here is still great!)
