Puerto viejo..the caribbean coast of costa rica!:)
... and then sat on the beach for awhile. there were a lot of mosquitos so then we decided to head back to the hostel and get some rest. when we woke up in the morning we booked our bus to get to the border. after we booked the bus we went for a little swim in the ocean before we had to be on the bus. it was a lovely night/morning in puerto viejo. we ended up coming back unexpectedly but more on that later...... ;)
