Today was our longest day of driving for the trip. We had a total of 4 hours driving back past Liberia to make our way to the beach town of Tamarindo. It was Ellis' turn to barf in the back seat this time. We pulled over at a soda, ordered some iced tea, and discarded of her shoes in the bathroom wastebasket, as one does in such circumstances. We eventually reached our first planned stop, a river with some minerals in the middle of nowhere that we used to cool off and stretch the limbs.
We passed through Liberia right around lunch time, so we took advantage of the large population center to get pizza for the kids and vegetarian food for the grownups, plus a quick and cheap replacement pair of shoes for Ellis at Walmart.
We made it to Tamarindo late afternoon and checked in to our beach house. It is a two bedroom unit on the second floor of a hostel/restaurant, we are directly above the bar and it is pretty noisy at night! With the temperature in the mid 30s, we headed straight to the beach that is only steps away from our door. The kids settled in to their standard routines. Penny collected seashells and garbage for endless potions. Oscar violently threw himself in to wave after wave. Jasper alternated between digging holes and sprinting in to the surf. Ellis acted kind of normal. Lots of hotels on this beach, pretty busy until sunset.
