Samara.. Isn't that a name of a cat or a Persian girl..?

Well both is correct actually, and it's also a name of a little village on the pacific coast of

Costa Rica.

I have now spent almost a week in this place named after a beautiful girl from the middle east once brought here as a lover of a Spanish captain, she loved this place and it's scenic beaches so much, and the captain her so he built her a castle on one of the islands outside the shore, but she died in syphilis before the last stone was in place.

In years it stood empty before it was used as a prison for decades, in the 1930s a hurricane almost levelled it by the rocks and now it just poses as a authentic silhouette in the sunset and a cold reminder that civilization and syphilization goes hand in hand..

Didn't know what my first impression was, not so bad I recall saying to may self, not wanting it to be crap and jinx it..

well it's not crap, but the waves are just ain't that big, and you can't even go out on low tide because there's no waves at all then..

and maybe it's not all the waves, but it's just a small strip of the bay that gets swell, and that bit is crowded like a flume ride cue at Disneyland in mid july..

And I hate having to fight for my waves, especially when they aren't that great.

The village itself is more like a square village compared to Santa T, which is nice, but the people here are more like 50+ couples or drinking buds from the big fat country ..

And when having breakfast this morning, seeing a ponytail wearing 55 year old thinks he's all that with that upstuck American look and with Joyce, a 45+ think I am 20 and wear slutty short skirts and Dolly P. sized boobs, at his side.
I just knew I got to get out of here..!

No I make it sounds like hell.. and it's not.!! it's pretty nice, but the clientele is not really my cup of tea.

Today at surf time it started to rain, which emptied the water rather quick.

but it wasn't all bad, actually very good.!

It was a warm summer rain with the sun still shining on you while setting below the clouds in the horizon.

and it lasted only for a half an hour, and it was nice floating on your board with the thunder rumble in a far distance.. and for once there were no battle about the waves..

I had easy 15-20 goes , still small but with no locals or learning tourist breathing down your neck it actually was fun playing around a bit..

and I live pretty good.. or what do you think..
