All packed and ready to go, we headed out for our 5 hour bus ride to Manuel Antonio. Along the way, we made a quick stop to visit some of Costa Rica´s finest reptiles, the crocodiles that live along the Río Tarcoles. We were looking for Mike Tyson, the largest crocodile, but he was not there that day. Herson, our tour guide said that there are about 35 crocs that live in this area in a four mile stretch who are sun bathing by the river. 2 hours later driving along the Pacific coast, we reached the beautiful beaches of Manuel Antonio. Our hotel was great as we were only a few minutes from the beaches. Finally, we got to the main event of the day, the OMG surfing lesson. Our instructors were super rad and the were were gnarly. There were a few wipe outs in the beginning, but some of us were able to master the art of surfing (of course after quite a few falls). After the lesson, a majority of the group went back to the hotel to go to the pool, while some of us stayed to watch the incredible, pink-sky sunset. To say the least, everyone found themselves loving the beaches of Manuel Antonio.
