Pictures of Tropical adventures.
I'm working on the pictures. I slept in until 7am. I'm getting used to this waking up without an alarm clock, and getting up early anyway. Last night was a wedding and a baptism, same people, same night. We didn't get home until late, and made some new friends. Today we went for a bike ride on the beach at 8am, because we just barely missed the start of the yoga class on the beach.
Then we drove to the Big Town of Nicoya, 45 minutes away. Only it took much longer than 45 minutes. I need to find out the name of the event. We were stuck behind some kind of parade, lots of prancing horses. After we parked we walked over and saw that it was at least a 5 block parade with oxen pulling painted carts full of wood. I took some pictures until I was so hot it seemed like I was melting. But I was so caught up in the animals, you know? I wanted to see where the parade ended up, it sounds like they were going to take all that wood and cook some good food. But we had to get the rental car back. We drove home through a tropical downpour. Then shortly after we returned home the downpour came to our village. It's so marvelous to watch and hear the rain come down with a vengeance. There is nothing like it. Then the clouds cleared and we just looked at that big moon out there. I hope the skies are clear on Sunday night so we can watch it for as long as we want.
Ok, I'm off to figure out these pictures. What a day! I had my picture taken with these huge oxen, and it was a big deal for me, they are kind of scary with those massive bodies and huge horns, and a band playing in the street, ready to startle them at any time. It was a moment frozen in time. Standing in front of 2 beasts with very little between me and dismemberment, except their good nature and good training. It was a Tidal Moment. It was part of the joy of living here. Doing things I've never done before. Walking on streets full of people and horses and oxen and tiny shops and broken streets. Another amazing day with my husband and my mother.
