We've been to the beach and back!

Now, that's not the same as Been there done that. because that was only the first installment of the beach saga that is our lives at the moment.
We're now in Puerto Limon, the capital of Limon province, on the Caribbean (east) coast. We spent most of a week in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, which is a (cripplingly (I don't think that's a word) touristy) surf town. At the moment, the surf is not up. This means things are relatively cheap, and the swimming is good.
We'll be here for a couple of days enjoying some Carnival (not sure what it's all about) and then it's off to Parque Nacional de Tortuguerro to chase green sea turtles around on the beach. Hee hee.
Wildlife seen so far: 75 white faced capuchins (monkeys) 12 howler monkeys, 1 sloth (my favourite) a whack of birds, insects and fish, and 1 raccoon.
