Stay a while

January 15: 88 degrees

Today we move from Tico Adventure Lodge (on the main road through Samara) to a casita on the beach.  We are now staying at LazDivaz for a few nights.  We settle in,  relax a bit on the beach and then decide to treat ourselves to a nice dinner.  "Let's have a date night!"  We walk around town a little in search of some seafood.  It's not hard to find it here, but we wanted the right feel as well.  We land at a restaurant on the beach.  Here, they have tables in the sand, lit tiki torches and a moonlit ocean just steps away.  This is the right place.  The menu looks fantastic and for the next hour or so, we enjoy green curry mahi mahi, shrimp pad thai and a couple of refreshing mojitos.

This is when and where we decide to stay in Samara for another week to figure out the next stops of our time in Costa Rica. Samara feels comfortable.  Plus, we get to stay w Sara at LazDivaz! Yeah, it's awesome on the beach, but the REAL difference is to to have a friend in town.
