Nosara Road Trip
We've been talking about heading down to Nosara for quite some time to explore the possibilities for Bb's jewelry, so Tuesday we finally decided to make the drive. Funny how around here things seem so much further away- it only took us about 2.5 hours to drive down, and for the most part the road was in good shape. Yet for some reason we've put this off for months.
The weather was beatiful the whole way down, high patchy clouds kept it cool and recent rains made the whole world look fresh and new. Sandy has been having some alternator/battery problems, so this was a great opportunity for Steve to fiddle with some different things and trouble shoot. By the time we hit Nosara he had finally gotten the system working well, which was great!
Nosara itself hasn't changed much in the last two years (some of the same places are still under construction). We were relieved to discover that the 'rampant growth' of which we've heard was somewhat exaggerated. We were also happy to realize that we are both awfully glad that we settled in Tamarindo instead of Nosara. Not to say that it isn't a beautiful place, it is! Not to say people shouldn't visit, they should! But living there seems, to us, a very boring proposition. The town just isn't much of a town. And that road.... dear heavens! We were following in the track of a grader that had clearly passed within 1 day, yet the road surface was still bumpy enough that Steve finally got out and aired down to about 20 psi in an attempt to keep our teeth from rattled right out of our heads.
After eating a great lunch at a cute little deli, we did a wave check (large, but mushy) and poked around a little bit, then headed back home. The drive back was slightly rainy and generally very pleasant. 
As we hit one of our favorite areas near Tamarindo (long views of rolling hills and fields) we were treated to that beautiful golden light that makes everything look hazy and slow and like childhood memories of summertime. Just beautiful.
