Fond Farewell

Friday became another day to relax and enjoy the Gallant/Gerlach homes. Lunch and relaxing by the pool were the activities of the day and then we dined by candlelight - yes by candlelight as the power went out yet again here on the Central American frontier. Luckily, the lasagna was already cooked and Polly and I whipped up the caesar dressing by hand.

Saturday we all dined together at Samareno (wonderful steaks) and then had a drink at Shake Joe's for the final farewell. The trip was over - short but sweet!

Lunch at Shake Joe's

Thursday, we had lunch at Shake Joe's on the beach in Samara. Here's the gang hanging out on the big comfy couches.

Sunset Celebrations in Samara

Wednesday, I took the ladies to Nicoya for shopping and we lunched at El Presidente (Chinese). Upon our return, we had time for a dip in the pool at Kalimbas and then we had sunset celebrations at the Gallant/Gerlach Samara residence lots. Here's the gang, including Patricia Crawshaw, who stopped by to say hello to Polly. The Howler monkeys made an appearance behind us but unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.

Also, two more shots of the night before (bonfire at condo site).
