Sunday was a nice quiet day. As we have mentioned before, Sunday here is considered a family day. The grocery store closes at noon, and the other stores are generally not open at all.

Mum and I went for a drive to see some of the rural areas around Coco. The Four Seasons has a lovely grounds just a little north of here, with beautiful views of the bay.

Unfortunately, they were part of an action to ban access to "their" beach to the people who live in the area, and have been going there all their lives. It is people like the Four Seasons that make for unpleasant relationships between ticos and foreigners like us. Life would be so much easier if everyone could remember that this is their country, and we are the guests.

After seeing the sights and watching the wild ducks, we headed down to Panama (the village, not the country) and went for a walk on the beach.

Soon after we got back the rain started, and kept it up for most of the night.
