We started off our day by waking up to monkeys climbing on the trees outside our balcony. Then we headed to the beach. To get to the beach, we had to walk 1.5 miles along a stone pathway enclosed by trees. In the trees we saw monkeys and sloths. We were at the beach for over 3 hours. The water was very warm and it was very sunny. After the beach, we went to lunch at a restaurant called Si como no. Attached to the restaurant was a gift shop with an art gallery inside. There were many beautiful paintings of animals such as turtles and butterflies. There were numerous options for lunch including fish, chicken, steak or pasta. For dessert there was ice cream on top of a huge brownie or coconut flan.
For the rest of the day we were free to hang around the hotel and we had the option to head to another beach. However a few hours afterwards; it started to storm, so we had to leave the pool. We then sat on the balcony and watched the rain and lightning instead. Dinner was at 7:00 at a hotel nearby. As we were eating, girls dressed in traditional clothing were dancing. When we got back to the hotel, a few of us went night swimming in the pool and that wa the end of a great day.
