Day 6 and Day 7--Quepos, Manuel Antonio, and water. . . LOTS of water!

Day 6 and 7 of our Costa Rica Adventure were pretty subdued.  We had lots of relaxing down-time, so we spent some time just roaming around, taking in the sites and LOTS of time in the water.  Here are some pics of both days. . .
 
Day 6 started out relaxing and wandering around Pete's Place.  It was a short hike down the hill to the pool, but well worth the trek.
 
Sasha liked to join us. . .






 
This was the cat. . . never did catch his name, but he was pretty friendly.




Sasha liked to go wading in the pool. . .


 





 
Dave had to get his morning cappuccino fix at Emilio's Café. . .
 

 
We decided to ride the bus in to Quepos for some shopping.  These were the shoes that were hanging on the electrical wire at the bus stop. . .
 
 
Interesting stop sign in Quepos. . .
 

Had to stop for donuts at a local bakery. . . just because it was there and smelled great!


 
 
Then, back down to Manuel Antonio for some coconut juice. . .





Just too funny NOT to take a picture.  Dave was NOT amused. . . but the rest of us were. . .

 
Relaxing night at the house with Sasha and a movie. . .


 
Day 7 started much the same as day 6. . . a walk to the pool. . .
 






 
Then off for a catamaran cruise and snorkeling. . .

 
The water was really rough.  So rough, they almost cancelled the tour. . . Kind of wish they had, but it was another new experience. . .




 
The motion sickness had not yet set in, so it was still all smiles. . .





 
Starting to feel a little queasy. . .


Aaaaannnnddd, there it is. . .
 
 
Dave and Trevor were good to go.  Kaylee and me. . . not so much. . .





 
The surf was too rough, so no snorkeling today, but they did let us get out in the water. . . just pretty far from shore so we wouldn't get beaten up by the surf. . .




 
Once the boat stopped, we all started feeling better.  Kaylee was a trouper and conquered her fear of the open ocean. . . with the help of a personal floatation device. . .









 
On the boat ride home, one of the crew showed Trevor how to tie a few knots. . .








 
So, Trevor thought he would give it a try on his own. . .







Viola!  Papa Roger would be so proud!!!

 
Then it was back in the water at Pete's Place for some more fun!









 
So, of course, it became a cannon ball competition. . .
 





 
Love that it looks like he's levitating!





 
And then we thought we'd work on diving. . .
 

 
Ummm. . . yeah, that's gonna need some more work. . .

 
Dinner at Aqua Azul. . .
 

My dinner was Macadamia Nut crusted Mahi Mahi. . . Delish!

 
Dave had the seafood linguine. . .

 
Kaylee was route 3'd out by this time and opted for the chicken quesadilla. . .

 
Same with Trevor. . . he got the beef tacos. . .

 
And we all enjoyed the sunset. . .
 


 
Sad that we have to leave Pete's Place tomorrow. . .
 
BUT:  we still have one more day in Costa Rica!
