Costa Rica Dia 6

More snorkeling this morning since TG didn't go the day before. Saw some new stuff today including a weird vertical fish, kind of like a trumpet fish, but flipped on its side. A few more poisonous puffer fish as well. One of the fun highlights was a blue starfish hidden within some sea urchins. Very fun!



                                                   But first, let us take a snorkel selfie!

Blue starfish just above the sea urchin farthest to the left.

After snorkeling we headed over to the spa for massages. It was a warm afternoon, but the cucumber water helped cool us off. They have these open air huts on the second story of the spa where you can get your massage (weather permitting). We worked out a lot of the snorkeling kinks too!




This was the first day it really rained....and it poured, so we watched the USA vs Belgium World Cup game in our hotel room. No English version of ESPN available (just ESPN Deportes), so we watched the game on Costa Rica's Channel 6 HD! 

After the game it was time for dinner with the Buckitos. However, we learned our lesson from last night....we applied bugspray heavily to every crevice of our bodies. ZP is very popular with the bugs here....she got over 30 bug bites in one sitting! The rest of us averaged about a dozen. Dinner was delicious though. They had crab cakes, tuna rolls, salmon with spicy mashed potatoes, and excellent cheesecake and carrot cake!
