In Market of Tamarindo

We took a small boat across the estuary today into the town of Tamarindo
. We were immediately bombarded by street vendors that were all trying to sell jewellery, pottery or clay whistles. This man stopped us outside the back machine (what a coincident) and started showing us his pottery. He continued to unpack almost every piece from his heavy backpack. We ended up purchases a few pieces from him (I don't know if it was because of guilt, or if it was because they were all so unique or beautiful). We each ended up with a sugar bowl with lid, plus Heather bought a candle holder and I bought a beautiful bowl. I purchased a few more things that I will have to leave a secret (my kids will be reading this).

Many other adventures today.
We did manage to get down to the beach again to ride the waves on the boogie boards. I don't think we'll get sick of this. The challenge always is to find the "mother load wave" and ride it all the way to the shore. We found a few of those today.

We watched the sunset tonight from the Big Rock in Playa Grande and ate supper tonight in town, at Kiki's. Then we ordered take-out cheesecake from another restaurant and played some cards tonight.

Tomorrow we head off shore on a private sailboat to snorkel, fish & bask in the sunshine. We hooked up with a great man from Potrero who owns the boat and is very willing to take us out on it. We are looking forward to the dolphins we will most likely see -- and a large potential for whales.
