Last Wednesday was our only free day of the whole trip. We had the freedom to do whatever we wanted in CR, so everyone decided to spend the day at the beach, except for five of us who joined up to go on an off-shore fishing trip. All together the trip costed 133 US dollars per person (transportation, lunch and adult beverages included), which was a great price compared to other charters in the area. So Bob, KC, Evan, Dan and I left Veritas University at 5 in the morning, and got to Herradura (town on the Pacific side) around 7:30 after a quick stop at Dennys. On the beach we ran into a fat pig getting attacked by a dog, as well as a rich old man from North Carolina, who supposedly wasnt prejudiced, but hated the all-black Charlotte Bobcats NBA team. Our fishing guide´s name was Carlos, who was pretty quiet, but told us a few funny stories about his experiences with Americans who like to bring hookers on fishing trips. All together we caught 5 Mahi mahi, or Dorado in spanish. For about 20 minutes we were chased on the boat by a group of dolphins, which was awesome to see even though they were scaring away our fish. After docking up, we took our big bag of fresh mahi to a local restaurant next to the beach for them to cook up in different styles (grilled, blackened and fried). It was a great to sit and relax with an ice cold piña colada after a long day of fishing out in the sun. After lunch we took a quick drive to a town called Jaco where we spent the rest of the day with the other group before returning to San Jose.
