Think we are now getting the hang of how to relax on the Costa Rica coast, Gringo style; we had a lovely vacuous day visiting different unspoilt beaches, then hotel and restaurant bars for coffee and then we had lunch in a posh restaurant called La Exotica. It is curious to see these elegantly presented developments tucked behind the tropical jungle and the sea.
I should be crawling up waterfalls but it is quite pleasant to follow your nose and see what the muy rico Gringo's get up to when they 'vacation' here. I am becoming somewhat tired of rice and beans and scrambled-to-death eggs. Here there is International cuisine - French, Thai, Italian...not a refried bean in sight!
We have reserved an evening table at Exotica. I am going to dust off a dress and fish out some high heels and war paint my face. I will order delights like homemade liver pate with a caramelised onion jam, or duck breast with orange confit. Voila!
Why all this extravagance? Well, once again the Queen of Outrageous Requests managed to cut a deal at the place we are staying. So we are going to splash out and spend the saving on hedonistic pursuits...my favourite being eating scrumptious grub.
