Thur 31 Dec

New Years Eve! Zack and I went to pick up Juan from his house. We then drove to a beach that was hidden from the tourist and only known to the locals. It was owned by the mafia or used to be at least and it was beautiful. This beach was a camping ground also because all the Tico families brought everything and there house to this beach. The waves were super strong and the current was even stronger. We chilled in the water for a bit, then went waslking down the beach to explore. When we got to the end of the beach, there was a wall of piled up stones that Juan later explained that it was a naturally made wall. Also at the end of the beach was a river that we swam in too. When we were walking back, we saw a group of drunk guys holding up signs that had numbers on them when girls walked by, so that was funny. Later in the night, the family and I went out to french restaurant and then went back to Carlos's house to celebrate the new year. We lit off fire works and sparklers to celebrate. Later we went to bed.
