La Ensenada Lodge – day 3

Feb 25, 2009 – Wednesday – La Ensenada “Star” Lodge, Manzanillo, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

2009 Southern Skies Fiesta & Tamarindo Coast

After a busy night of observing and photographing the night sky, I get up for the 8am breakfast this morning. When I return to my cabin to process my photography from the night before, it’s obvious that my notebook computer really doesn’t like operating in this tropical heat, but I finish organizing all the images in preparation for later processing.

The Salinas where they make salt from seawater

The Tractor Ride is an event I am looking forward to this afternoon. Not only do we see La Ensenada’s property from a new perspective, but once we arrive atop the lookout hill we are served the Italian owner’s fresh antipasto snacks along with cold beer and soft drinks. Mama’s antipasto is superb – the best I’ve had in many years – I remember it from last year’s trip. The view from the lookout is superb. We also see the Salinas where they make salt from seawater, the swamp from the other side, seeing lots of birds and cattle along the way.

After dinner I go to bed early and sleep the night through to the following morning. I guess last night’s activities tired me out more than I realized. I will have to ensure I make good use of our upcoming last night at La Ensenada Lodge.
