The Beach at Punta Leona

Today is spent without lycra as we are going to take a day off at the beach. The riding part of the tour is over and we are relaxing today at the beach, getting some sun, sand and water action. Early on we each at our own pace migrate down to the water and then regroup at the bar and figure out our plans for lunch and the rest of the day. Lunch in Jaco, pronounced "Hawk-O", buy some beer and back to the beach for sunset where we experience the hatching of turtles and their trip down the beach to the sea. Nothing attracts beautiful women like a bunch of baby turtles, except maybe puppies.

Diner is at a local eatery, where Paulo knows the owner, in Hermosa Beach just south of Jaco which serves us a great variety of grilled meats while we enjoy playing foosball and pool waiting for dinner.

At this point I am ready for bed and leave the last trip to a bar in Jaco to some of the others in the group.

Tomorrow we check out and get back to San Jose for one more night in Costa Rica.
