Quepos Vacation

May 10th we motored south to Quepos, about 4 hours, to the timeshare resort that I traded into. We stayed at the Pueblo Real which was in the heart of a palm oil plantation. It was just outside the town of Quepos, near Manuel Antonio park. We attended the orientation meeting and decided that I would try zip lining with the kids. Although the climb to the zip line was fine - we saw a tree dart along the way and the first zip was o.k. I was absolutely petrified for the rest of the zips! It brought new meaning to the phrase "tree hugger." Never again.... The boys loved it and were even turning upside down as they zipped.

We visited Manuel Antonio park the next day which was really interesting and we saw some white faced monkeys. We drove down the coast past Dominical and turned around at Uvita to head back. It's very beautiful and so unpopulated. We spent a day in the pool at the resort and then visited the marina in Quepos then next day. We understand that it is being built to accommodate those huge mega yachts and will have upscale shopping so we'll see how that progresses. Sunday, we drove home so the kids could finish their last couple of weeks of school before heading out for our next week long vacation up north in early June.
