Day 6 - Playa Cocles

As usual I woke up early and took a walk into town to get something to eat. On the way I heard the crazy guy from the previous night shouting "I am Joe Montana's son!"

I went back to Cafe Rico and had a yummy fruit salad with yogurt. I then went to the Old Harbor Market to get some snacks for the house along with some laundry detergent so we could wash our dirty clothes in the washing machine. By this time my wife was awake and wanting breakfast so we walked back into town to eat at Chili Rojo. We had thought about taking a bus to Cahuita but it was pretty overcast and looking like it might rain and should wait for another day. We decided that Playa Cocles would be a good spot for some beach time so we walked there and found a lot of people on the beach. We found a shady spot and relaxed with our books for a few hours.

On the way back home we stopped at El Toriso for a snack of chicken wings. We also stopped at Echo Books which is an odd place set back a 1/4 mile into the forest. It was air conditioned and had a decent selection but I don’t see how they get much business in their location. We then took a short nap and walked back inot town for some margaritas at El Dorado.

The town wasn’t as busy as the previous night. Some performers were juggling fire on the street just outside the bar. We then walked around a bit, looking for a place for dinner. We really wanted to eat at Chili Rojo and seeing an empty table (the place has been packed every other night) we rushed in. I had vegetable curry which was really good but could have been more spicy.
