Several friends had recommended a visit to this town north of Bandaras Bay set in lush jungly hilly terrain. We knew it as a place where many young Americans have taken up an inexpensive lifestyle, the place to learn to surf or start some ecologically sound agricultural endeavor. I didn't expect it to win my heart, but it proved a delightful spot, with a lovely town plaza in shady park style, little shops, clean beaches and good food. A friendly young shopkeeper sent us to Muertos Beach away from the surfers. It turned out that the road there passed by the most colorful cemetery we've yet encountered. The body surfing was great and the whole trip made for a wonderful day.
We came back, dropped into the Octupus's Garden restaurant in La Cruz for a beer and planned out our next couple of days with Ian and Diane.
