This past weekend we had a free weekend so we decided to go see what Jaco Beach was all about. It is a black sand/rocky beach thats about 2 hours away and is known as a surfer town. We caught the 11:00 am bus on Saturday morning and headed that way. We stayed at a hotel a friend, Vivi, had recommended called Flamboyant. It was beach front and right in the center of the town of Jaco. Perfect! We then headed straight for the beach. Not long after we made ourselves comfy we were approached by a guy Freddy aka Salsie Boy hah trying to sell us surfering lessons. We got to talking and he told us about a surf competition that was going to be held later that evening in Hermosa (just a 10 min cab ride away). With no other plans we decided to check it out. It was really cool! It was held right outside a bar/restaurant and there were a bunch people just hanging out cheering the surfers on. The waves were huge! We had dinner there and stuck around for the awards ceremony and after party. They had a live band and everyone was dancing having a good time. We met some people we later hung out with and just made the most of our weekend away from San Jose! The next day the sun was shining and we hung out on the beach the entire day. We saw a guy riding his horse along the beach and another guy going off on a rampage about how police drive nice cars and he has to ride his rusty bicycle. He also thought it was a good idea to tell the world that he sold drugs to pay his father. There sure are some interesting people out there. Overall, we had a great weekend and now it is back to life in San Jose...
