Thanksgiving at Carillo Beach/Playa Samara

Despite the jellyfish stings (ouch!) we had a gratitude-filled Thanksgiving.  After our faux-turkey (smoked chicken!) here in Escazu with some fellow teachers and their families, we ate fish every night at a hidden restaurant in Playa Samara.

The beach was gorgeous, but too placeid for boogie boarding.  Lovely for floating, though!  This time, we brought along white vinegar, Advil and Benadryl for the jellyfish stings....   Beats pee!

We enjoyed the cool, saltwater pool and yummy breakfasts at Samara Pacific Lodge (very reasonable, and a French owner, mais oui!)

For lunch each day , we made easy, portable
Tico Tacos (also known as Beach Burritos):
      Flour tortillas filled with:

• squeezie beans (Lizano brand)
• sqeezie salsa (Natura's criolo or ranchero red sauce)
• ripe avocado

We gobble-gobbled 'em up!
