Our lat few days were filled with fun, friends, rain, and the most mosquitoes I’ve ever seen! I actually inhaled one a few times. When I moved, I saw at least four alight from me. We ate while fanning our faces, not because we were hot, but so that mosquitoes wouldn’t land on our faces! It was bad.
On a lighter note, here’s picture of me with the amazing breakfast that I LIVED for every day! Of course, I lived for more than that, but it was a tough call. I LOVE breakfast! The fresh bread, spread with buttery cream cheese and topped with cinnamon banana jam was heavenly! Wow, my whole mouth just filled with saliva! :-)
On Friday, the place we stayed threw us a party! There was a band, dancing, great food, CAKE and ICE CREAM, and even pina coladas! So fun! It was a great celebration for all our hard work.
The beach walk into town.
A few of us walked into Cahuita again, mainly for the ATM (the nearest ATM is a 45 minutes walk away!) Yes, we could call a taxi, but why? when we have perfectly good legs and time. While there, we partook in an evil vice… not only a horrible thing to put in one’s body, but an evil corporation that must be stopped! We’re such rebels…
This is the flower that smells so good outside our window.
This is the walk from our room to the yoga room.
The yoga room is open air on the second floor. We also had some classes or watched some yoga movies downstairs where there’s a chair and projector.
Our last breakfast was pancakes!! Pancake day. mmmmm. And this was our last meal at Goddess Garden – the best refried beans EVER, guacamole, barley, and gazpacho! Delicioso!
We said goodbye to Goddess Garden amid a barrage of mosquito bites. I brought just a travel-sized thing of bug spray and a full tube of sunscreen. I used the sunscreen once, finished my travel-sized bug spray, bought another bottle of bug spray, and USED the ENTIRE bottle before we left! We were all kind of amazed with the little buggers. And none of want to think of all the toxins we absorbed between spraying ourselves down multiple times a day and breathing in mosquito coils during yoga practice. Oh well.
Our trip from Cahuita to San Jose is a whole different post – stay tuned!

So this is too little too late, BUT... When I was in the Dominican and Costa Rica I took garlic pills. The mosquitos can smell it in your blood and they stay away. You can try this for your next tropical adventure!
