Costa Rica: Saturday, November 25th-Playa Negra

Saturday was our last day which for Larry started much too early when Preston climbed into his bed.  Larry had been watching Preston the night before while the rest of us were patrolling for sea turtles.  Preston had fallen asleep on the couch while they watched a show together and I carried him to bed when I got home.  He woke up in the middle of the night disoriented and, assuming Larry was still in charge went to find him.  
It was another gorgeous beach day with lots of time spent out in the waves (which we don't have pictures of this time), and more animal finding. Ethan was happy about catching a frog.  James was glad to finally get a picture of some of the iguanas we often saw on the bridge as we left the house.
We ate at home that night the fresh fish purchased the day before. Shrimp pasta, seared ahi and grilled mahi mahi made for an amazing dinner.
Afterward we went out to the Playa Negra hotel for dessert before going back to watch a movie and pack up to leave the next morning.  When someone said something about Costa Rica not having rules Preston informed us that there was in fact 2 rules in Costa Rica.  1. you don't throw toilet paper in the toilet there, just in the trash.  and 2. you don't drink all the milk from your cereal bowl.  The first rule is true.  The second is a manner he apparently had never heard of before. When at the hotel breakfast buffet the first day on the trip he started drinking his bowl like a cup, I informed him that you only use your spoon to get what you can. He must have assumed this was a cultural thing.
