"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in
its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

Jan. 31 - Dominical, Costa Rica

“Half the fun of the travel is the aesthetic of lostness.” – Ray Bradbury
We've really enjoyed our time in Dominical...maybe it's the house we have more than the town itself. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the birds, the sunset and I really enjoyed the pool. We've done a few strenuous activities, but mostly we've been unwinding and relaxing. Here are a few pictures of the town of Dominical and a few beach pictures. We haven't spent too much time on the beach, because it's just too dang hot! 

Regular readers of the blog know we love to walk on the beach and beach comb, but that's hard to do when it's in the 90º range every day, so we've spent our days in the cool waters of a waterfall or at the house relaxing.
Dominical is a very small beach town with one paved road...the other two or three roads are dirt. It's a very laid back friendly town.
The Baru River runs down the mountain and meets the ocean in Dominical...it's very pretty. 
My favorite part of town are the little booths that sell things along the beach road...it's like a little craft market every day.
We didn't eat out much this past week, because we loved cooking in our outdoor kitchen. Here are a few of the places we did make it to. The beer at Fuego Brewery was good, but the food wasn't anything special. We both had the Pineapple Ale.
La Parcela was on a point overlooking the ocean just south of town...the setting was nice and the food was very good.
While we were enjoying our coffee this morning we felt the house shake...come to find out there was a small earthquake just off shore. The blue dot is us and the red dot was the quake.
I'm going to miss this view...anytime of day, it was amazing.
