We left at nine after
devotions by Connie and Mike for our weekend adventure in Manuel Antonio on the
Pacific Coast.
Our first stop
along the way was at the ‘Crocodile Bridge’ where we saw 21 crocs.
Sam got a little too close
to one of them.
The closer we got to
the Pacific the HOTTER it got on the bus since there wasn’t any AC worth
mentioning.
The Pacific
Ocean itself was lovely – Karen and Karen bravely swam in the Pacific.

We finally arrived
near our hotel. However, the bus
could not make it up the hill and we had to be shuttled – 10 people at a time –
while others patiently waited for the shuttle to return.

Some retreated to
their air-conditioned rooms while others headed for the pool.
Our next adventure was
to have dinner at El Avion.

Many thanks to Jim Miller for feeding
us – the only time all 26 of us were together.
Our final adventure
was guided tour through Manuel Antonio National Park where we saw many
interesting birds and other animals, including a hummingbird on its nest.

– both born on March 25th.
