Olive Ridley turtles lay eggs right by our condo. The locals nearby dig up the eggs and protect them until they hatch. This protects the eggs from poachers.
We'll hope some of these baby turtles survive and the females continue the cycle of coming back to lay eggs on our beach.
Richard really enjoyed his morning beach rides. Low tide was best.
Plenty of great kayaking on the Rio Chiriqui lagoon system right by Playa La Barqueta and Las Olas Resort.
The local swimming hole was all a buzz when we came to take out our kayaks on the Rio Chico. We had lots of eager helpers.

Walking on the 18 miles of beach never gets old. It's always beautiful!
Great pool. We like to jump in after a beach walk or bike ride. There is a shower on the walkway from the beach to clean off. Las Olas Hotel has their own pool. This pool is just for the condo residents.
