“Sightings from the Veranda in Costa Rica”
Last night’s view of Atenas from the veranda. |
After a wonderful anniversary day with pool time cut short due to rain, we had a delicious dinner and evening lounging in the electricity-restored screening room. The power in the room had gone out before we left for Nicaragua, which was repaired by Julio while we were away.
Street view as we drove through Managua. There are security guards at every intersection. If you’re traveling to Managua, Nicaragua, we had a fabulous taxi driver. He has a college degree in “travel” and conducts tours. Jeffrey Ocampo at phone: 7782-3211, email: ocampojeffrey136@gmail.com. |
Second-hand clothing shop with cola sign. |
Shoes store on the highway during a half-price sale. |
Statues and artifacts at the entrance to a building. |
Veterinarian’s office. |
Tom by the pool at the hotel. |
Tom opted for pasta last night at the hotel, knowing he’d be back to healthy eating when we returned to Atenas. |
My side order of sauteed vegetables at The Market Restaurant at the hotel. |
I ordered grilled salmon on a bed of thinly sliced zucchini with gluten and starch-free sauce. |
Next, we’ll forward the completed forms by email to Ponant along with the “passenger information” forms with copies of our passports, credit card information (for incidentals on the cruise), etc.
I’m rushing a bit today, so we can get outside in the sunshine before the afternoon clouds roll in and the rain begins to fall. Swimming and lounging in the pool is a favorite daily activity that we’ll miss tomorrow afternoon when we head to the doctor’s office.

One year ago, almost every evening during the 33-night cruise, we played pool at this self-leveling (for rough seas) pool table in The Colony Club. For more photos, please click here. |
