Manuel Antonio

This was a beautiful town near Quepos. It had beautiful beaches, a national park full of animals, and we at dinner at a restaurant with an enormous plane into it!

Hotel we stayed at.



The national park had slothes, snakes, weird birds, and MONKEYS! We hiked for about 2 hours before succumbing to the reality that we were not going to get to see any monkeys! So we swam in a beautiful beach in the national park.





It was about 300 meters and surrounded by rocks! Gorgeous! So we packed up and showered, dredding the long trek back to town... and found ourselves surrounded on the path by 20 MONKEYS! they were jumping between trees and running across the path! Our friends Stacie had one run at her and another person in another group had one run at her; a satifactory ending to a long day!



Though it was more humid than our previous beaches/excursions the monkeys made up for it! We also got to eat in a restaurant with a grand view of the ocean and tropical forest! I was also thrilled because the plane had an interesting history! Anyone remember the Iran-Contra Catatrophe! A C-123 cargo plane, the twin to the plane in this restaurant, crashed in Nicaragua and set off a serious of shameful lies and coverup! Check out the restaurant: El Avion!
