Playas del Coco

Howler monkeys above the house

Watching the howler monkeys

This morning we got up, had school and then went swimming in the pool. Dad lifted me up on his shoulders and I stood up on them and he walked around. It was fun! On our way walking up from the pool we saw a troop of howler monkeys in the trees. They are also very loud, but today they were making an extra weird yelling noise because they had gotten too far from their baby! But don't worry, the baby made it back to them! Then we drove into Playas del Coco, just to walk around and check out the town. We stopped at a real Italian gelato place and it was so good. I got Snickers and Oreo flavor, which tasted exactly like Snickers and Oreos! Also we stopped at the grocery store and they were having this contest where you would spin a wheel and win something, and we won some wine! Mom was so excited! For dinner that night we went with Sandra (the owner of Verde Misterioso) and her friend to a little soda. To eat I got the traditional Costa Rican dish, casado with fish. Afterwards we came home and went to bed.
