Image
Hey all, Elizabeth again. Flash, Rafa, Ulices and I got back from the bus tour on Friday. Even though we had fun, we are all happy to be back in Tamarindo. When I last wrote, we were about to head of to Pavones from Dominical. I thought it might be a good idea to let you all know what happened in Dominical and how the rest of the trip went. The second week of the trip started out great with the addition of 5 new guests. Kevin, Andrew, Kim, Tracy and Brian We then made our way to Dominical. It was a fun, short drive from Quepos. Palm hearts on the way to the factory. Dominical Dominical wave That night we all had fun getting to know each other but the next day we got down to business at nearby Dominicalito.

It was pretty crazy to show up to the convention center and see our booth hiding inside of these three giant crates. A few hours later we had the WRSC tiki bar and lounge built and it looked awesome!

Hey All, Elizabeth here writing from the road. Rafa, Flash Ulices and I have found our way to Dominical on the WRSC School Bus. Our journey started when we crashed in Joe´s Avellanas beach house were Chef Miguel cooked some amazing food and the first time surfers caught their first waves. After 2 nights, we woke up early and surfed at La Finca. Krista at La Finca Tania at La Finca After surfing we drive south to Ostional where we saw Turtles laying eggs. It was kind of cool but really gross. We then made our way to Nosara where the guests and I got a little beat up and all us gringos learned why Turtle eggs are such popular eats. Nosara Waves Keith at Nosara From Nosara we drove to Manuel Antonio. On the way we stopped at this bridge were you can see ton of huge crocs.
