His name is Creepy and he is the pet squirrel of a guy who works at
the 3rd hotel we have stayed in since leaving Tamarindo. So much has happened in the days since my last blog that I have no idea where to start. Just now while enjoying my coffee on my balcony I looked down and saw Creepy so I thought introducing you to him was as good as any place to begin.
Six days ago I was suppose to hit the road with Jesse, who I met when he was in Tamarindo attending a wedding. But then his buddy Vinny, the groom’s brother, decided he wanted to take a road trip so then there was three. As I was leaving the hostel and we were saying goodbye to Tamzin I asked if she wanted to join us and she jumped out of bed, grabbed her stuff and headed to the car.
So the four “Hostel Homies” (2 Canadians and a South African) headed out to find the perfect beach town. We stopped in Nosara first and that was ok. The beach was nice but the expensive hotel wasn’t great and we couldn’t find a restaurant opened after 9pm. Since we can’t seem to motivate that early after a day on the beach we decided to move on. Next stop was Montezuma. The town is cute but another hotel that we paid too much for in order to, literally, sleep with the ants. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. After two days of windy dirt roads and water crossings in our SUV we finally we landed in paradise. 
Santa Teresa! I was here a year ago and not too much has changed other than the fact that they did pave part of the main road. We stayed at a nice oasis “Blue Surf Sanctuary.” It was a bit out of town but it was perfect and we had a cute clean hotel on the beach block with a small pool. Besides Arenal this was my favorite spot during my Costa Rica travels.
The sand is nice, the beach is long and surrounded by jungle. Restaurants are plentiful and you can listen to live music with a drink in your hand and your toes in the sand!
Ohhhh and there’s Creepy but just the right amount of that here!
