It was actually a pretty nice ride. Ben did a great job of getting us through the city with no major problems. And believe you me, it was hairy during certain times.
We decided to take the scenic route to the beach and drove through the mountains. It was kind of like driving in the mountains of Colorado we decided, but with all the wrong trees. Sadly, none of my pics of the mountain areas came out - they were all too blurry.
Here was a little spot that we stopped at on the side of the road to admire this lovely waterfall. Strangely enough, there were other tourists there swimming there as well.
The views of the coast were amazing as well. What an amazing drive.
Finally we made it to our destination - Maresias!
It is a beautiful beach town surrounded by mountains. The weather was warm in the sun and cooler in the evening.
There were plenty of people out on the beach enjoying the great weather, even though it is winter here now.
We ate at a great beachside restaurant appropriately called "The German"! Ben was happy.
Such a lovely lunch with a great view.
We had this amazing meal of pumpkin shrimp served in a baked pumpkin. It was fresh shrimp served in a pumkin cheese sauce with rice. OMG it was amazing.

We stayed at a great little hotel right on the beach.
It was such a lovely view. This is the hotels pool and beach access area. So nice to have breakfast while enjoying the sounds of the ocean.
We spent the morning walking down the beach. At one point, we ran into a surfing competition.
Hang loose, Ben! Surfs up!
Relaxing in the lounge before hitting the beach.

The mountains running into the ocean......Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwah!
Overall, it was an amazing adventure. It is hard to believe that it is winter here and we were enjoying cocktails on the beach in our bathing suits. We loved it!!
