The plan was to spend the morning kayaking then head out to a new location but when we woke up it was pouring rain so we decided to pack up and spend the rainy day in the car and relocate to the west coast. We are looking forward to seeing another side of Costa Rica but even more so we are looking forward to meeting up with an old friend from Spokane who moved here. The drive took almost 7 hours and the roads went from 3rd world horrible with construction everywhere to a much more modern infrastructure as we crossed from the Caribbean side to the Pacific side. We opted to skip the party town of Jaco and instead went to the town of Quepos giving us easy access to the national parks and waterfalls. Time to rest up for a few days of hiking.
