We woke up and had breakfast at the little restaurant attached to the hotel.  I had some good gallo-pinto.  After that, we drove the car up the hill to find a bank and check out what we could find towards the pier in Quepos.  After stopping in several little shops, we tried to go to the national park in Manuel Antonio, but apparently the national park is closed on Mondays.  So we called an audible and grandpa and I went to the beach instead.  After a nice little siesta out there, we loaded back up in the car and went to El Wagon for a lunch that consisted of pizza and allowed us to sit in rocking chairs.  After lunch, I went back to the beach and was eventually joined by grandpa.  After a little while, grandma came down to the beach and sat at a restaurant on the beach.  We joined her for a little bit before getting our last little bit of sun out of the day.  After a quick shower, we ate at the restaurant on the beach, consuming Mexican food in Costa Rica.  Afterwards, we went back to the hotel and I worked on some homework, because that’s how I like to spend my vacations.
