The experience of going to the beach was incredible. Most
of the team was sleeping the entire way there, but then came
alive at we approached the tropical scene. Victor, one of our tour guides,
stopped the bus so we could do a little shopping and see the crocodiles.
The crocodile were about 15 miles out from Jaco beach. They were
laying on a sand area right below one of the bridges that we had to
cross with our tour bus. There were so many, and they were just sitting
there. Every once in a while on crocodile would open and shut its
mouth. It was so crazy that they were not moving at all. When I first walked
over to look at them I thought they were fake (one crocodile had it's
mouth open for almost 10 minutes!
After the crocodile viewing, we finished the bus ride
to the beach. We were able to see the huge waves from the bus. Most of
the waves were about 8-12 feet high (not very typical waves at
American beaches). We all were very excited to get in the water, especially
because we were so hot from walking around Jaco. Some of us went
straight to the water while the others and I went to eat and do a little
shopping. Eventually, we all ended up at the beach.
The view of the ocean was beautiful. We all took off
into the water only to find hard rocks waiting for the bottom of our
feet. After 5 feet the sand was a little softer. The salt water
burned as well on initial contact, but we all got used to it
eventually. The first few waves approached us and honestly I was scared, but
ready to take them on! The waves defiantly won to say the least. It was
funny being next to someone when a wave would come. It was even
funnier to see my teammate's head pop up 10 feet behind me after being
hit by a monstrous wave. The entire team had a blast.
Once we finished with the beach, we checked into the
hotel in Los Suenos. The hotel was amazing. There was a huge pool area that ran
right up to the ocean! We had the best of both worlds. It was an incredible day
overall and I am grateful I was able to experience it with my teammates!
