Manuel Antonio

Our trip to Manuel Antonio was great!  This national park is south of Puntarenas and while there, Apryl learned to surf, we saw a fast moving sloth and had a laugh watching bad little monkeys!  This is my favorite place in Costa Rica, although it is truly a tourist site now.  I prefer off the tourist pathway, but wont give up loving this beach and park!

 Nothing more refreshing than fresh coconut water right out of the coconut!  And then the treat is to eat the fresh coconut meat!  Yummy!

 This is a Costa Rican specialty - the Granizado Cart!  This is shaved ice with powdered milk, sweet condensed milk and flavored syrup.  It is sickenly sweet, but so yummy for a treat especially on a hot day at the beach!

 We got serenaded to, and then Apryl began blowing her little whistle (souvenir) with the guy! 

 Best drink!  Ice cold beer served 'Michelada style' - salt on rim of cup, with 2 fingers deep of lemon, and beer over ice!  Oh how I love my Imperial Michelada style!

 This monkey was a naughty little monkey. He and his crew stole a banana out of a mans hand as he was getting ready to eat it!  The monkey flew through the air and grabbed the banana right out of the mans hand! 

 Miguel was her surf instructor and he was great!
