Taryn's Mad Hatter Adventures

7/6/24

When we woke up today, my husband was not feeling well at all. Apparently he was awake all night with stomach issues. The rest of us felt fine, so I thought maybe he was dehydrated from the day before. The girls and I went to breakfast and then went and got chairs near the beach.

Here you can see the vendors who walk up and down the beach trying to sell their items.

We walked down to the part of the beach where they surfed yesterday. It was not rocky in that area, so we felt safer going out into the waves with no water shoes.

This is looking back at that area. (There is public parking here so it was much busier. This is also the area where alot of the vendors were stationed.)

I found this beautiful starfish!

I also found this guy again on the wall right in front of our chairs:

And this interesting insect appeared on my bag:

I had gone back to the room to check on my husband a few times, and he was not better. He couldn’t get out of bed and didn’t anything to eat or drink.

It started raining again, so we moved into the restaurant to a table for some drinks and cards.

We didn’t really have a plan for dinner tonight. One family wanted sushi, and the rest wanted Italian.

The Italian restaurant was attached to the resort, so it was just a quick walk to get there. This is the kitchen area where they made the pizzas and pastas! It was open air, and right where the very limited seating was.

Here you can see the street and how close it was to the seats.

I had the spaghetti bolognese and it was so good!

This wrapped up our trip to Costa Rica! It was certainly a whirlwind. The next day we had breakfast and then boarded our private transportation to the Liberia airport, which was about 45 minutes away.

(My husband was still very sick. He didn’t go to dinner, but survived the trip home. After we got home, my sister-in-laws family all also weren’t feeling great. We think it was due to the water in Tamarindo (traveler’s diarrhea)! Not everyone drank bottled water. My two girls and I drank bottled water. Everyone was back to normal in about two weeks.)
