On Monday we tackled some stir-craziness with a taxi ride to Punta Uva, a gorgeous beach that is about 9 kilometers south of Puerto Viejo. It was a nice, overcast day — perfect for playing in the sand!

The boy loves to get dirty!

Even Graham, Hater of All Things Beach, had fun!

The coolest part of the excursion… MONKEYS! We saw a whole family of them swinging through the trees. While we have heard a monkey (there’s one lurking around our property), we hadn’t had the pleasure of seeing any. It was awesome.

It was hard to get any good photos, but this is a mama monkey and her baby.

On the downside, the mosquitos and no see-ums were out in full force and we got a lot of bad bites just as we were starting to look less like horror movie props. Gah! It was worth it anyway.

    Even Graham loved it?! Wow! It looks like you had a wonderful day. We had to look pretty hard to see the mama monkey and her baby, though!

    you are going to have to point out those monkeys- I must be blind for I swear that’s just a picture of jungle brush!
