We first drove to the touristy, busy beach town of Tamarindo and walked a bit of the beach and the town. We are glad that we have visited it, but wouldn't want to stay there. It's too hectic and commercial for us.
Afterwards, we got lost finding Playa Avellanas as it was poorly marked. We almost gave up, actually, but, we did eventually find it using the GPS. And, we were really glad that we persevered. It was a long bumpy road to a beautiful, unspoiled beach. But, it was surprisingly crowded. We were hungry when we got there and the line for Lola's, a beach restaurant opened years ago by an American and named for his pet pig, was so long that we went swimming first. Then, we ate outside under a thatched umbrella. (We both had salads)
Then, we met up with Matt and Nat for a bit. We took another swim and watched Matt surfing a little. Then, we headed home and got here after 4. A long, hot, beachy day.
Then I started working on the final proof of the book I am writing with Frank, called "Hidden History of Nantucket." Mark is working on photos for the blog.
