trip #1 to montezuma. we heart this town! the road there sucked major ass, but i've decided that you really can't describe how awful it is to drive in costa rica. just go check it out for yourself and get back to me.
montezuma is everything we thought mal pais would be ... cute little strip of shops, bookended by glorious beaches. the water here is much more sapphire, more brilliant. it's beautiful. this was actually the first day that i was in awe of costa rica, because up until this point it hadn't seemed that much different from other places along the pacific.
we walk along the beach about 200 meters (no, i don't know how far that is in my country either) where there is a hotel, the ylang ylang. the only way to get to it is by walking on the beach. apparently they have a car that will go into "town" and get your luggage for you, but you have to walk! it's amazing. granted, it's not the ritz carlton, but it is a lot nicer than anything we had seen up until that point. and obviously we were both thinking the same thing, because after we checked it out we went to the front to ask them what their rates were. not that we were going to change hotels, but you know, just in case.
