Manuel Antonio-Parte I

Steve surprised me with our awesome hotel for our second anniversary. Because it is low season, he was able to get a really good deal. The hotel offered us transportation to the beach and national park whenever we wanted. Their golf carts brought us up the big hill. We had a private balcony overlooking the wildlife reserve. Breakfast was included. The bartender at the pool gave us fresh fruit on a stick whenever we passed him. The pool was three levels. Needless to say, it was awesome. Oh. Aforementioned bartender was convinced that Steve was Tobey Maguire.

The first day we went to the National Park. I highly suggest going with a guide, because there is no way a gringo like me (or you) could spot these animals. Seriously, Jesua (our guide) saw insects on branches. No lie. He had a scope that we could look through and we saw the cutest things. Sloths eating. A crocodile completely submurged besides an eyeball. And best of all, lots of monkeys. Lots and lots. They were so cute, I couldn't handle it. We saw them steal someone's food, only to throw down the bag in frustration when he couldn't get it open. The walk though the park took us about 3 hours. It was really awesome.



Can you spot the sloth?


So cute
