Fine Friends in Flamingo

The purpose of the trip was to visit Flamingo Rose Vista, but first we spent a week at Secrets Papagayo.  It was supposed to be a week of teaching yoga, but it turned out to be a week of enduring a huge tropical storm that caused massive flooding and landslides throughout the whole country.

Aqua yoga the day before the pool filled up with mud

High surf and soggy grounds from the heavy rains

White throated magpie-jay keeping us company as we sought shelter from the downpour

Finally, the rain stopped somewhat
