After three mostly sunny days at sea, we arrived in Puntarenas. The weather continues to be hot. On our third day, in the morning, we had a nice shower, but it just increased the humidity. And we watched another movie with popcorn!
Along the way we've seen a couple of whales, numerous
dolphins, and a few birds, including one swallow, who apparently has found an
easy way to migrate. He flies for a
while and then lands on the ship to rest.
Since we have been to Puntarenas twice, including about a
year ago, we decided not to do an excursion.
But we did get off the ship for a
short walk. We left at about 8:00, but it was already hot. Since it's Saturday, lots of families were
out on the beach, having picnics and playing in the water.
They also were setting up for some kind of
street festival. There isn't much in the
town, and what there is is mostly pretty shabby. We had forgotten how much trash there is
everywhere, compared to some of the places we visited earlier.
By the middle of the afternoon it was 93. So we returned to the ship and had ice cream (another recent discovery!)
and sat in the shade until we sailed at 5:00.
Oh, yes. We've also
crossed back over the equator.
