Puerto Limon

We don't do an excursion here, and there isn't much to do or see in town. It would have been better for us to pre-arrange some inland tour of our liking. Instead, we just do a slow day.

We go for a walk and meet one of our dining table mates. Debby takes my picture with her.

We walk through a small park.

Beyond the park we come to the sea wall, where we have someone take our picture.

Then we walk along the wall and back through the town and Debby takes some pictures.


The sea wall and some houses adjacent

Another pretty petunia, my name for flowers whose names I don't know


Typical street corner

Debby returns to the pier for a couple of 'cures, and I revisit the park to hunt for birds. But it is too late in the afternoon, too many people in the park, and the birds that are left are too high in the canopy. I return and take Debby's picture.

Back on the boat with no critter pix for the day, I see a frigate bird soaring overhead and go for one last try.

Our brief impressions of Costa Rica are that the coastal ports offer little support and attraction for visitors. Yet I see that Costa Rica has a huge variety of birds and wildlife to observe. We will try to return, but next time to carefully selected destinations, perhaps where nature treks are offered.
