A mess-up in comunications meant that our boat ride out of the park never got booked, but with day tours arriving every morning we were able to tag along. Arriving at Drake Bay, Miguel met us at the beach, but we had to wait for Lynda as she wanted a fresh piece of fruit and a cold drink from the first sign of civilization, a beachside grocery store.
Our next stay, Finca Maresia had great views from atop a hill next to the north edge of the park. Our cabina was not the honeymoon suite, but the bathroom walls were open to the outdoors for natural ventilation. Big hairy bugs loved the easy access. Every time Craig went into the bathroom, he was startled by something (a huge cockroach, a giant grasshopper and grande hairy spiders.) Miguel, the owner, is also a very good cook, even if he won't admit it. We were both comfortable and well fed.
Miguel had several cats and dogs, but the star was your typical, over weight, Costa Rican Heinz 57, named Kira. If she was in the mood, she would take guests on a jaunt to the beach. We were fortunate to have her and the dog next door accompany us to Playa Cocolito one afternoon.
