On the way to Bahia Huevos we saw this arch. We've seen a few since arriving in Costa Rica.
We loved this bay!!! It was warm at 28.5 degrees and the water was clear. We headed off for snorkeling around the "egg" islands for which the bay is named.
This is a giant hawkfish that Ralph saw.
More colourful reef fish.
If you look REALLY HARD you can see octopus tentacles in the middle of this shot!! No kid'n'!!
What an attractive couple!! This is Dan and Lorraine enjoying the snorkeling too! That's the good thing about being the editor of the blog...I get to censor any photos of myself and include anything I want of everybody else!!
Here fishy fishy!!
These are beautiful fish and about 8 to 12 inches across!
This photo doesn't do this fish justice. He was a beautiful teal blue.
We beached the dinghy on one of the islands and had a look for shells. Nothing really at all.
There was a mangrove swamp and river at the end of the bay. We took a little trip up to see what we could see.
We saw a parrot, but no photo op. It was kinda spooky in there as the sun was pretty low by the time the tide was high enough to enter.
This, we've been told, is a termites' nest. We've seen many of these. You can't tell by the photo, but they are maybe 2 feet long!
In this bay, as in other places in Costa Rica, the frangipani (plumeria) flowers are growing wild on the hillsides surrounding the bay. This is the flower that Hawaiians use to make their leis.
Beautiful to look at and even better to smell!
Ralph brought some back to the boat, but we didn't take them aboard because it was impossible to get rid of all the ants in the branches and flowers. So, we put them in the water beside the boat.
