Day 9 - Manuel Antonio

Breakfast was included with the hotel and the food was pretty average. I had eggs with gallo pinto both mornings and my wife had French toast.
Unfortunately we learned that Manuel Antonio Park was going to be closed today as it is every Monday so we decided to take full advantage of the sunny weather and hit the main beach in Manuel Antonio for some sun and swimming in the water. We rented a pair of beach chairs and an umbrella for 3000 colonies ($6) after talking the guy down from 5000. There were guys who would come along with coolers full of beer that you could buy for about a dollar. One of the guys had a San Francisco Giants Baseball hat on! He saw my hat and we quickly became amigos. It was nice talking to him entirely in Spanish since just about everybody we met so far was able to speak English. After sever hours in the sun and swimming in the water we decided that we had better head back to the hotel before we turned into lobsters as the sun tan lotion was wearing off from being in the water.


Back at the hotel we cooled off in the pool with some more drinks from the swim up bar. We originally wanted to go watch the sunset and have dinner back at El Avion but it started to rain pretty hard so we decided to eat at the hotel restaurant. My wife had the lasagna and I had the roasted chicken. The food was filling but average in quality and a bit on the expensive side.
