2 Fishermen....

Our home in Costa del Sol is only a country block from the beach and leaves no excuse for not getting that much needed exercise by walking on the beach.  On this morning we had loaded up the doggies on the golf cart and took the scenic drive down to enjoy the nice cool breeze off the water and put our toes in the sand!  It is not unusual to see the local Ticos fishing at the beach.  Today we ran into two very unique fishermen!  One was a young Tico fishing with a net!   It was so interesting to watch him throw it out and drag it back in.  What was even more interesting was to see it filled with fish!


He was very happy to have his picture taken with his catch of the day even though he did appear to be very shy.  His bucket was almost full and I am sure that his family will be very happy to enjoy some wonderful fresh fish for dinner tonight!

 The second fisherman was not a man at all but what appeared to be a hawk!   He only caught one fish but seemed to be enjoying his feast.  I don't think he was interested in sharing with anyone and when he was done perched up on top of a beautiful piece of driftwood with the proud pose of a great hunter after catching his prey.  I felt like I should offer him a toothpick!

The beauty and interesting things you find in Playa Bejuco compel you to come back for more as you never know each day what or who  you might meet along the way.

I am thinking that fresh fish sounds yummy for dinner.....maybe I should go to the ferretaria and purchase a net for fishing!  Who knows I might even pull in a crab or two for an appetizer!

Why don't you join us in Costa del Sol and Playa Bejuco for a relaxing day at the beach and some fishing? 

 

We would love to have you!          Pura Vida!
