Day 6 Passion for the Pacific

Austin collected some school spirit!

Monday was a trek from Monte Verde to Jaco (Hotel Mar de Luz) on the central Pacific Coast. The roads up in the mountain are all gravel and quite difficult for a coach bus to maneuver. Our driver is amazing. We did have some mechanical difficulties, but we were transferred to a very good local restaurant in short order. We had another bus take us on into Jaco. We all hit the beach. Madi, Rick and William rented surf boards. The water was surprisingly warm and salty, and the waves equivalent to what we have at the Outer Banks.  It was a beautiful sunset. More to come.

From this vantage, it is easy to see why the area we came from is called a cloud forest.

Surf is up for Madi!

William catches some wave action.

Rick works the Pacific shore break at Jaco.
