Four Seasons with the Family

The Four Seasons was the final stop of our Nicoya Peninsula surf tour. We got five days of luxury with mom and dad, and after cheap cabinas and hostels this was heaven. Poolside cheeseburgers, steam room and hot tub with pitchers of cranberry juice and terry cloth robes, massages, golf, room service, The New York Times crossword, and lounge chairs on private beaches. Thanks so much to Mom and Dad, Laura and I loved our early Christmas.

Dinner on the last night with the Koehler's who were staying right next two us, forming a Houston posse

The parents left on the 19th to return to Houston, two days before and Laura and I flew to Panama. We spent the first day in ‘extend-extend’ check out at the Four Seasons, where I did some spear fishing, before driving down to Playa Coco to spend the night. The next day we chartered a private boat to take us to the two most famous-and remote- surf breaks in Costa Rica. Witches Rock and Ollies Point got famous and discovered after being featured prominently in the surf classic Endless Summer II. I had a blast surfing both, but did not catch a particularly good swell day. I will show you guys two pics, the one Laura took at Ollies before my new camera ran out of batteries and another stock photo of Witches from the internet which shows the beauty of this unique spot.

Laura got one picture at Ollies before the camera went dead
