I had a nice long blog about my trip to the beach but just as I finished, my computer inexplicably shut down and I lost it, so I will give you the condensed version. I went to Samara beach about 4 hours away on Sunday and I walked along the coast there. It was very beautiful and the waves were huge especially out on the exposed cliffs. The major news story in Costa Rica on Monday was about 4 Americans drowned in a beach just south of where I was because of the large waves. I found a scorpion in my bag and got a sunburn but I had a good time.

Costa Rica is out of the world cup after a disappointing loss to Ecuador but we have a pool going at the factory that makes all the games very interesting to watch.
