Soccer on the beach

But who needs a soccer field when the beach at low tide is wide enough to play soccer?

Most Costa Rican towns have a soccer/football field right in the middle of town.  In small towns,the field occupies what would ordinarily be the town square, and the church usually faces the soccer field.

Tamarindo is not a typical Costa Rican town, as it is a beach resort where most of the people are foreigners and visitors.  There is no soccer field in the middle of town.  The beach will suffice.

This week we are showing photos of Nicaragua on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site, featuring the doorways of the Spanish Colonial old city of Grenada.

  4. I've noticed that, too, in my drives around Costa Rica. The chursh-sport connection is interesting.

    Glad to hear that you and Julie made the trip up to Nicaragua. We thought it was fascinating.

    We had simply the best time at your condo. Being back at work is, um, not so great in comparison.

  5. Actually there "is" a soccer field in town - across the street and a little north of Witches Rock Surf Camp. But it is not well maintained and the beach looks like more fun!
