Paradise by the ocean.

Our stay here at Terraza del Pacifico has been fantastic! From a couple of moonlit dinners just feet from the surf, to walking the black sand beach at low tide, to basking in the sun listening to the macaws fly overhead, we have felt pampered without a care.

Our neighborhood companions have delighted us with the varieties of them and their interactions with "us" and each other. We have enjoyed the sighting of the flock of 36+ macaws that went overhead one day at the pool, to the hoard of gliding vultures that are constantly riding the currents above and around our "home." [We weren't able to improve the documentation of the macaws past our last video--but they always seem to be paired up when in flight and move pretty quick. Plus, a photo from the ground up doesn't capture the beautiful colors that they all have.]

We have also eaten better than a person probably should...the bald guy will need some more exercise to keep the clothes fitting--ha!

NGG and I will surely  be missing how close the ocean was to everything we wanted to do; as well as the beauty of it. But the one thing that will always be a unique aspect of this place is the sound and feel of the surf. We both loved the fact that we'd wake up in the middle of the night and not only hear the surf, but feel the waves crashing on the shore. I will not soon forget that sensation.

Va y vengo! We are off to Hotel Karahe in Playa Manuel Antonio today!
