In December of 2012, I discovered paradise.
After a long, tiring week at BCR, I needed a relaxing weekend. My friend Daniel Marten offered his beach house on Playa Coyote as our proposed destination, and thankfully, they were smart enough not to tell me how far it was! 4 hours later, including 1 very long grocery run and a weird visit to what I can only describe as a UFO memorial, we arrived! It was dark and I was tired, so I wouldn't get the full effect till the next morning!
As I made my way out to the backyard, which, mind you, bordered the ocean, my mouth dropped open and I was in love! Not to mention, breakfast was already cooked and laid out! Check this place out...

| Oh hey Fred! You like that couch? |
Fred wasted no time leading us down to the water so he could run amok. Turns out my street dog LOVES the beach! Like owner like dog!
My day alternated from sitting in a beach chair staring out at the Ocean watching the waves, to taking a dip in the pool with my furry friend, to reading a great book in one of the quiet, secluded areas around the house. Being a New Yorker, I'm not sure I ever really understood the true meaning of the word 'relaxation', but as I swung in one of the many hammocks, watching the sun set, I think I got a taste!
As night feel, we thought it would be great idea to have a bonfire on the beach! Thanks to Alberto, our resident boy scout, we had the most amazing bonfire I've ever seen! And while we waited, we had a little fun burying Clay in the sand!

The weekend came to end WAY too soon, but as we drove away from paradise, I made a silent promise that I would be back soon! Thankfully, that wish came true! More on that to come!
Pura Vida!
