We rented a car and drove up to Tamarindo Beach area to visit Patri's brother Edgar. It was incredibly hot! You can see Edgar and my family are dressed to sweat...

Aryel had to stand in a wading pool outside Edgar's house to cool off...

Here is one of several views from our balcony. You'll see some more of the view as we go...
