Today we leave the decadence of our Casa Sol for Docelunas (twelve moons), a resort near the city of Jaco. We arrive at the ferry landing quite early. In front of us is a happy American who, having made his fortune selling mattresses, has invested it all in several properties in Costa Rica. In front of him is a family from, you guessed it, Edmonton, Alberta. After a while in the sun we discover that the ferry will be another two hours. Since we can't leave the car, we pull up under the shade of a big tree and settle in to wait.
Finally on the other side, the traffic is heavy, but Dan makes good time. We turn off onto a dirt road through a typical Costa Rican barrio. The road leads to the gated compound housing the Docelunas resort. By the looks of the garden filling the huge courtyard, they must employ quite the army of gardeners. It's just stunning. From decadence to... decadence.
They have a gorgeous pool with a mosaic sun in the center. It's kind of surreal -- there seems to be almost no one here. I have a delicious tenderloin at the restaurant. We are the only guests, save one couple, under the huge palapa housing the restaurant.
