Entry formalities were more casual when I went in '95. No advance bookings were required, and upon arrival many local families would gather at the outdoor arrivals area with signs encouraging you to stay with them. I did and had a great time, attending their daughter's high school graduation followed by a big party and feast afterward.
The bar in town was the little general store. I'd buy a nice cold Escudo or Cristal and then sit out on the porch and drink it. And I remember the best tuna sandwiches with this delicious mustard sauce. I got the impression the tuna was caught that morning.
Again, thanks for rekindling the memories 🌴 🌞
Wow, how much has changed in the last 30 years! That would have been a real adventure just showing up there and picking a family to stay with for a few days right when you arrived. That would have been so cool and such an immersive experience!
