We rented bikes again and rode all the way to Manzanillo. Past Punta Uva there are two small hills to climb. You have to be careful when coming back down the hills as the bikes dont have the greatest beakes and at the base of one of the hllls there is a bridge and the pavement changes. When we finally got to Manzanillo it was super windy with sand blowing all over. We went into Maxi's but the music was blaring so L-O-U-D with a lot of distortion we decided to turn around and rode back, stopping at Punta Uva for a beer. On the way back we saw a large tour group of out of shape europeans hufffing and puffing along on the bike ride. Following them was a truck containing the bakiek and people who were too out of shape to make the ride (I havent riden a bike in years and thought it was pretty easy). We stopped at Punta Uva for a beer and then rode back to return the bikes and eat some lunch at Rockin' J's. We had some delicious chicken skewers with a really good thai peanut dipping sauce. The tacos al pastor were also good but needed some salsa or something as they were a bit dry.

We then headed to Playa Cocles where we almost had the entire beach to ourselves. The water was warm and more gentle than of previous days making for good swimming. We then headed cack to the house to clean up and rest for a bit before going out for dinner.
We went to our usual pre-dinner hang out at El Dorado and got to watch a parade of school children playing drums and in costume slowly march down the main street. Halloween isn't really observed here but the Costa Rican children seemed to be catching on as far as wearing costumes. One guy was even dressed up as Santa Claus! We then had a good dinner at Amimodo - yummy pizza!
