When we get back to our room at the end of the night, our housekeeper comes and makes designs with either towels or sheets. She does a great job and we even saw one day at the pool where they were in training on how to make them. So I added a couple of pictures of what she’s done for us. I also took some of the flowers from one of them and was messing around with some pictures one day.
Our mission today was to check out the Monkey Bar. It sounds like everyone knew or has been to this one bar and it wasn’t too far to walk from our hotel. You followed the beach and then it was a path into the woods. So off we went.
We weren’t sure if we would be able to find it or not because it’s tucked into the forest, but it wasn’t a problem. 
There was a big sign that showed us the way. 
The new friends that we met when we first got to Costa Rica were also going later and we were planning on having a few drinks with them. The reason that it’s called Monkey Bar is because there are so many monkeys around in the trees where the bar is. You can see them all in the trees.
But they were the ‘good’ monkeys, the Howler ones. Not the white faced ones. When we sat down at the bar there was a couple sitting next to us that wanted to know if we wanted the rest of their fish. They went out fishing that afternoon and after the fish were cleaned this bar cooked it for them. They had so much that they were sharing to get rid of it. The fish tasted fantastic. I’m not sure just exactly what they were, but I do know that they were about the best fish that I’ve ever eaten! But if you weren’t lucky to have some people beside you that was sharing, you could always order food. This was the menu.
After watching the monkeys for awhile, back to our hotel we went for the afternoon. 
Every night there is entertainment and we’ve either gone to it in our hotel or the neighbors. The way that the hotels are set up is that they were both owned by the same company, but we could go to their hotel and eat, swim, and see the entertainment, but they couldn’t go to ours. Tonight’s entertainment was Vegas and you can tell that it wasn’t the first time that the dancers did that routine.
After the entertainment in the Resort, we found out that one of the weddings today was having fire people at their reception. I’m so surprised how many weddings there are at the Resort. Sometimes there could be a couple of them a day!
Off to the beach we went to see if we could find a turtle. Last night we went and got my cell phone and a red shirt to dull the light on the beach. But with the moon being so bright these past days, we didn’t think that we would need one. You have to dull the light and never shine the light in their eyes. Some of the local people said that if you do it temporarily blinds them and could blind them forever. After walking around for awhile, guess what? We did see one! It was so cool!! My brother was careful to take the picture from behind the turtle so the light wouldn’t get in her eyes. 
By the time the turtle was making it’s way up to a nest, there was way too many people there and she got scared. She didn’t lay eggs that night and ended up we think going back to the water for awhile. I have to admit though, I never had seen anything like that before and I can’t think that I ever will again.
