We have spent the last week at the ocean at Playa Potrero. This is the place that Jerry and Carol took their intensive Spanish classes for10 weeks. It's absolutely gorgeous here.

| Vulcan Arenal, on our way here... |
We are staying in a small apartment in Potrero. It has been a little haven for our souls.
It's a lovely little 8-apartment complex with a pool. We didn't realize how we would come to love this little pool, a refreshing hideout from the heat...

Of course, there WAS a burn factor... This is the "before" picture. Color them in with red, to see what happened later...

I really love the color of this little building... and swinging in the hammock I could hear the parrots screeching in the trees and the thunder from the purple clouds rushing past, and the rushing water sound from the pool's waterfall.
The grounds were kept groomed by a young man named Alvero, who we came to really like... he was always smiling.

And then there was our beach time. It was partly cloudy/partly sunny on our beach days, and during the week we pretty much had the beach to ourselves.
The water was like bath water and so relaxing! Well, except for the wave that slapped me upside the head and knocked my sunglasses from my face. Jerry found them a few minutes later, which was a miracle!

| ocean bobbing... one of our favorite things to do! |
And so there were hours of bobbing, talking, bobbing, talking... then the rain would come, and back we would go to the apartment. *Washingtonians.... the rain here does NOT cool anything off!! It is so not like at home.

Mother's Day fell on a Thursday here, so that day the beach was more occupied than usual. But it was still wonderful to just bob.... Wishing you plenty of time to just relax and refresh yourself wherever you may find yourself today... and ocean breezes. and calypso music. and palm trees swaying. imagination is a wonderful thing!! love, Shari
