Solo bueno, mis amigos! So, I've had 2 days without internet access ... not that it wasn't available, it just wasn't easily accessible - like I had already been walking around for hours and couldn't squeek out another 3 km OR because I needed to board a bus OR it was too late when I finally got somewhere to even think about it. Sorry if anybody (Dad and Michelle and maybe Abigail) was/were worried. It's all good! And, until I locate cheaper online service I probably won't post any pictures. We'll see.
I just got to Punta Banco (near Pavones) last night just after one of the MOST gorgeous sunsets I think I've ever seen. Pavones is home to the 2nd longest left-breaking wave in the world. It also always breaks in the same place! Surfers can ride it for 3-5 minutes!! I guess it's actually quite the work-out. I don't expect to find out! Unless my son, Adrian, comes down here and tries it out ... then, he can tell me all about it. This area is way more remote than I expected!! The place where I'm staying (at the moment) is at the literal end of the road. Beyond my 'rancho' is jungle ... and somewhere in the jungle is the border into Panama! It's also 5 km away from Pavones and the internet and the grocery store (bank). I might not be getting online every day while I'm here. At the 'rancho' I'm staying in a dorm with 3 couples! I was hoping for a cabina to myself but 'ah well' ... everyone is really nice! It's so relaxing falling asleep with the sound of the surf in the background!
I've been having a lovely time exploring etc. This morning I was up sauntering along the beach and the road for 3 hours before I had breakfast. So peaceful and quiet ... a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning!

Sounds like you are having a great time in beautiful Pavones and Punta Banco. Rancho Burico (perhaps you are there) is a special place too. You might want to check out the yoga farm up the hill. There's so much to do there. Pura Vida (be Full of Life!), best, Lisa from Punta Banco (P.S. When you get home, if you want to stay in touch, visit www.GoodMorningPavones.com, our new community blog.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog and heads up that your internet access is not as easy right now. I do worry when I don't hear from you...
ReplyDeleteHope you are still taking lots of pics - anxious to see that sunset and the left-breaking wave.
Hearing about the beaches, sunsets and exploring makes me yearn for spring and summer!! We are surfing in snow still - probably got a good 10-12 inches (I'm guessing - I haven't heard an offical count) over the last two days. take care and be safe!
Happy to hear from you again. Glad you are doing ok and are storing some happy memories. Sure wish I were with you in those lovely jungles! I feel that I am. Love you.
