Playing in the Sand

I think the kids' favorite activity is playing on the black sand beach at Bahia Pez Vela.

They have staked claim on the space under the big Guanacaste tree which is perfect! After playing in the pool or in the waves, the shade is very welcoming and the hermit crabs think so too!  We constantly find many little hermit crabs and the girls like building houses and corrals for them.

 I am so glad that we have a washer and dryer in our condo - otherwise, I do not know how we would manage the black sand. A trip to the beach creates at least 2 loads of laundry just in the towels - blue ones for the beach and white ones for the showers afterward!
