Fun in the sun (and rain)!

The rainy season is upon us!  Typically here in Flamingo Beach, it is hot and sunny in the morning and a little rainy in the afternoon and night with a possibility of a thundershower.  In the mornings, students now know to be prepared with sunblock, insect repellent, a towel and raingear in addition to their school supplies!

Wednesday morning, we ventured out to Tamarindo Beach, a 20-minute drive south from Flamingo Beach.  Some students rented surf boards and boogie boards to ride the waves, and some students enjoyed the sandy beach as we watched the tide go out.  Being more of a touristy beach town, there were people on the beach selling everything from jewlery to fresh coconut water, and many sun-baked surfers slicing their way through the waves.  After a while on the beach, we did some shopping, ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant and returned to Flamingo Beach for class.  After class, students enjoyed the pools at CPI and at the hotel, and we had dinner at a nearby restaurant.  In the evening, the girls decided to treat themselves to a homemade spa night, complete with advocado-cucumber face masks, manicures and pedicures!

Saludos de Playa Flamingo!
