Finally a turtle !!

A while back I wrote about a particular trip to this beach that was supposed to be very famous for turtles, but when since it was not turtle season, we had no luck, until yesterday when finally we saw one turtle come out of the ocean to lay eggs and go back into the ocean, it was pretty cool seeing the turtle specially because they don’t come out very often this time of the year.

When Surfing: Know your limits

Every time someone goes out surfing they have to know that sometime there is such a thing a wave too big for their own good, the problem is how do you know when a wave is too big that might be dangerous to surf? every surfer has their own way of sensing that, however in this picture my brother caught a way perhaps a little too big for his tiny boogie board, lucky for me I was there to take a picture of him right after the wave spit him out to shore, he looks a little scare to go back again…

Tropical Sunset … as good as it looks

The sunsets at the beach are one of the many reasons Costa Rica is an awesome place to spend time with your love ones. Watching the sunset from a tropical beach that is not very crowded is one of the things anybody should do in their lifetime, there is sometime very magical about the warm weather combined with the warm colors.

Here is a picture of me with my girlfriend at my favorite beach to catch the sunset.

The palm trees along the beach make a really nice shade and provide a very scenic element to the beach !!

Turtles not in season

I’ve heard that the "season" for to see turtles here in Costa Rica is during the month of October, however I have seen a one or two turtles come out and lay eggs in December as well.  My girlfriend and my brothers headed out the beach where they usually arrive by the hundreds unfortunately we didn’t see any this day :(

This is the beach where most turtles come out, however this particular day of December we had not luck, the beach was pretty empty.

My girlfriend Stephanie, really wanted to take a picture of the turtles, but since she didn’t see any she figured the closest thing to a turtle was me and she took a picture of me taking her picture.

Beaches with no crowds

If I had a quarter (25 cents) every time I saw a deserted beach here in Costa Rica, I wouldn’t be a millionaire, but I would be pretty close to being one, and I am not kidding, I took this picture at this one beach with perfectly grinded power white sand and no one on the beach, and its late December, during this month is where this country gets most of the tourists however many places don’t have paved roads and access to some places is only available during the summer months like December, that’s because during the winter months this roads get blocked by huge rivers from the mountains that run wild through roads until they make it to the ocean. Having a "real" 4×4 vehicle and knowing where to go is definitely very important to see some of this beautiful places even in months of heavy tourist season.

Costa Rica for the holidays

So much has happened since I last posted here that I would have to write about 30 or 40 blog post just to fill you guys in, I might or might not do that but I can give you a few details. Back in December I quit my job and now I am taking a long break to allow me to do some visa paperwork to start a new job. I’ll be putting some updates here but in the mean time I’ll let you guys see some of the places I have visited while here in Costa Rica.

We drove to this beach and I took this picture because right in front of this deserted beach I found a house, yes a nice house with a huge nice yard and palm trees with full view and access to this nearly deserted beach, it’s nearly deserted because we wore the only ones hanging around there after driving the car through some reef at low tide right at the end of the beach.

This is a closer look at the awesome house, I am not exactly sure if the house has road access from the back, but it definitely has road access right from the beach, this is totally one of the most beautiful places to have a house.
