I actually took a vacation sort of speak near the end of March. I went
with a group of mattress dealers to Costa Rica. Yes I left the country!
We spent 2 days fishing in the Pacific for sailfish. I never did catch a
sail but I did catch the most fish. On the second day we were extremely bored and
came inland early and went to fish for bottom fish. I was the bait man
casting for bait. We ended up catching a Red Snapper and a Snook.
Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Motel 6? |

Well at least they left the light on for us. If you look closely you can see the window unit in the back. Out that back window was rainforest. |
