As these posts are somewhat behind for reference we arrived in Jaco on 14 January 2011. Given the time it took to get down to Puerta Jimenez and the fact that Jaco was another 2 hours further north from where we had come, we planned an early departure the next day. This was delayed by the hotel manager being late but we finally got away about 9am. The road trip didn’t seem so bad in broad daylight and the fact that the worst part was at the start rather than at the end of what had already been a 5 hour trip. The major achievement of this trip was finding an aux cable to use in the truck so we could have some decent music (everything is 80s here at best!) through our ipods. After being to many stores we finally found one and the store people couldn’t understand why I was so excited when they actually had one. The trip from there to Jaco was filled with music and singing (sorry Bob) ! What a difference music makes...aahhh!

We arrived at our hotel Doce Lunas about 6pm and were delighted. The staff were friendly, the room was great, the grounds were very pretty. We even got upgraded unexpectedly...we were convinced that we were meant to be here earlier. The other attraction of this place was that they had yoga every week day and a huge yoga studio that guests could use when they wanted. So my yogi friend and I took to doing our own sessions each day and joined the yoga teacher when classes were on. We even did one session down at the beach which was great to hear and see the ocean while practicing.

Days were spent doing yoga, walking to the beach, reading, watching movies, having happy hour. I discovered after about the 4th day of walking into town that this activity is not high on my friend’s list of fun...oops! We had dinner with Chris one night and it was nice to see him. We were having such a good time, Bob decided to extend his stay to catch a concert that was happening at the hotel. The 40th anniversary concert of Max Creek (whoever they are...I know there are people shrieking in outrage at this statement but I had never heard of the group before... but the guest drummer (so not in the photos below) was Bill Kruetzmann from the Grateful Dead, who I have heard of!). This was a fun night and the best part of it was that it poured. But unlike anywhere else I have been in pouring rain...it was warm and it was fun to let yourself get drenched and dance soaking wet with toes in the mud...I swear no drugs were involved...:), but maybe some tequila shots and a few glasses of wine! Chris joined us for the concert and it was really great fun.
