Superbowl Sunday

Three nights in the city was more than enough. We managed to visit the gold museum and the jade museum which were both fascinating and ate Tico and Peruvian food - and a little dim sum but we have both developed a limited tolerance for crowded streets.
So we headed back to the airport on Sunday morning for a Sansa flight to Puerto Jimenez.
The Cessna Caravan has 12 seats but there were only 7 of us for the flight so we both got a window seat to view the amazing scenery along the way. Bit of a queue at the end of the runway as we left but thankfully our pilot avoided the jetwash of the 737 that took off before us.
It was a little bumpy as we climbed over the mountains but then settled back to a very comfortable cruise for the 50 min flight.
The strip at Puerto Jimenez is surrounded by rain forest and, comfortingly, right next to the cemetery in case of any mishaps.
Arrived at Agua Dulce in time to have a swim in the pool and a walk on the beach before heading for the bar where we found that all three tv screens were showing the Superbowl to the delight of the Panthers and Broncos fans who had taken all the best seats.
Nobody seemed interest in my request to see the Ireland / Wales game or even Arsenal / Bournemouth so we settled for a table as far from the noise as possible and enjoyed some excellent fish.
