2018 COSTA RICA DAY 15 Left Samara for Playa Coco 01-25

Sadly left Samara and headed for Playa La Coco.  Crossed 2 rivers (creeks) on the way with no problems.  They were not very large and we are sort of getting to be old hands at this stuff…….sort of. 

The hotel in Coco was hard to find.  It had a really back way access point with hardly a sign.  The GPS coordinates for the place were wrong so we didn’t find it that way.  Long story short Wendy finally ferreted it out and we got signed in.  It’s ceratainly one of the more depressing rooms I’ve ever been in.  All concrete with just one small window and air conditioning which makes the place cold.  On the up side we seem to be sharing the space with a little geko that makes noise every once in a while.


We went to dinner at a sea food place and I had some pretty good food.  Wendy wasn’t so lucky she got  a dry red snapper.  But again on the upside all of a sudden a parade formed going down the street.  We had no idea what it was all about so we asked the waiter who told us that the rodeo was in town.  So after dinner we went to a Costa Rican Rodeo, cowboys and all.  I had no idea Wendy was a rodeo fan but she is.  She had a great time watching the young crazy daredevil cowboys riding bulls and admiring the lasso horses and riders.  We ended up turning in about 2200 which is late for us but it was a good day.
