Costa Rica: Games and Whale Tail


Hanging out in Costa Rica didn’t mean to always be out and about. Sure, it was fun to explore the village for a bit, go to the beach and kayaking or eat out. 


But at the end of the day, after a sunny and hot day at the beach it was fabulous to just go relax and play some games. 

Even I played...the one who doesn’t love games (what’s wrong with me??).


Alex still didn’t cooperate with taking pictures...😂


Robert looked magnificent in his blue shirt matching his eyes just right. 


Mark and his blues again. 


We were surrounded by the majestic views and nature!  Iguana alert.


HUGE! 


Unfortunately, we didn’t find our Harry the Sloth.... He is supposedly hanging around the house somewhere in the trees, but we never noticed him.

On Monday after Easter, our last full day in Costa Rica, we went to a cool pizza place for lunch, located in Uvita. 


Oh, it’s called Pizza Time! 😂


After lunch, we drove over to Parque Nacional Marino Ballena--or Whale Tail Beach. We parked and paid a few bucks for parking, then had to purchase tickets to the actual beach and wear a mask inside the park, near people.


The beach is called a Whale Tail because when the tide is low you can see this amazing nature creation of a sand strip that, when looking from above, resembles a whale Tail. You can kind of see it here, but that’s the strip of land that is covered with water at high tide, and at low tide it creates two “pools” of super warm and super calm water. 


Here are Robert and Mark on the rocky tip of the whale tail. 


This was the only beach that we found that had practically no waves. We spent such a long time here! Didn’t want to get out! And Mark still doesn’t think he can do a star fish maneuver on his back-hahaha!


Oh yes, the walk to and from the actual whale tail is kind of lengthy. We were fortunate it wasn’t too hot or too crowded on the day we went. 


Right ON the whale tail. Great place! 



Uvita was about a 20 minute drive from the place where we were staying. There is so much to see in the area, that it really makes me want to go back!
