Lodging in CR

If you find your way to CR, like dogs, prefer non-traditional lodging and enjoy getting off the beaten path, I strongly recommend staying at the Lighthouse in Atenas. Pictures do not do justice. Frances and Bruce welcome you as family. For me, it's a great way to completely unwind. See more at their Airbnb page.

Towards the Coast

We visited Atenas and the Lighthouse Sunday afternoon (12/18) and evening. Bob wasn't so thrilled about the dogs.  I don't get that.  But it was fun to share Atenas as I know it with Bob and Walter.

Monday started as it did Sunday with Bob taking a nap.



Then we headed off to Manuel Antonio.  This is about a 3-hour drive from Alajuela on pretty decent roads up and over the mountains that separate Alajuela from the beach, then along the coast for about 90 km.  Along the way, there is a place to see crocodiles.

Wonder where the sandals came from?

Then it was off to Quepos for lunch and coffee, then Manuel Antonio for a walk around the beach and dinner at our hotel, Vela Bar.
