Pura Vida

We can now see why many travelers get "stuck" in Puerto Viejo... Caribbean beach steps away, little restaurants that rival our favorite hole in the walls in Portland, great bars and friendly locals everywhere. Our friends at Tasty Waves, have a taco and beer joint on the shore & even broadcast NFL games on Sundays. If we didn't have passage booked on a sailboat to Cartagena, it'd be a safe bet that we'd extend our stay here for a good bit longer.

A couple of weeks back, we offered a friend we met, Amelie to help scrub down a handful of her horses. She runs a great stable jut outside of town, and if you're in PV be sure to pay a visit caribehorse.com. Amelie had just bought three new horses and returned the favor a few days ago by inviting us for a ride down the beach to mingle the new horses with the old.





I let Lindsay park the van...







We also paid a visti to the Jaguar Rescue Center south of town in Cocles. A couple have been running the rescue as a nonprofit for 8 years to help return injured or confiscated animals to the wild. Its a great way to learn a little about all the wildlife that your practically on top of down here.





This one really liked Linds...
