Playa Ventanas Beach south of Uvita is a cool place to see.  We spent Christmas day on that beach with 1000s of locals a few years ago.

I was hoping to fish tomorrow for Rooster but don’t think we can put it off :(. Did monkey tour and sunset catamaran cruise out of Quepos today.

Did you get an autograph? That is the host monkey from "Outbreak". I always wondered what he has been doing...

Great pics. Missing on the big Blue hurts. I caught a big blue in Costa Rica about 8 years ago. They estimated it at well over 500#. It was the only fish we caught that day and the captain had asked us if we wanted to go in towards shore so we could at least catch some fish. We said no we are here for big or go home. About an hour later we were hooked up. The captain was basically calling me a wimp because I couldn't get control of the fish. Then it came out of the water and the captain and his crew lost their minds. :chuckle: He went from what's your problem to game face mode in the blink of an eye. 2 plus hours later we were cutting the leader at the boat. Still one of my best fishing memories ever. Lost all my pictures from that year in my phone. Hurts to this day.

Overall it’s been a great trip once we get home the wife will do her graphic design magic and make a short slide show and I will post. I will do a break down of costs and tours and get in touch with the one that asked for info.
Back to the normal world tomorrow or Sunday I guess lol Brian

That Zipline pick is epic!

Looks like a life memory vacation, congratulations!
