Adventures in Costa Rica - Provincia de Guanacaste - Playa Sámara
We reached Costa Rican territory early in the day, and lucky for us that we did because crossing the border was a huge fiasco. I'm now realizing how important and how fortunate we are, that at least one of us speaks Spanish.

Voici la plage dont je me rappelerais toute ma vie. Samara est l endroit ideal pour apprendre le surf, et voila,ca, c est fait. Je dois dire merci a Will, c est lui qui m a appris, donc respect pour lui. Il est aussi celui qu il m a fait economiser 40$, j ai juste du payer la location du surf.
