Going out dancing!

While in Puerto Viejo we went out dancing a lot. There were so many cool little places to go hangout on the beach, we were in heaven. We went to Johnny’s, Mangos, Oshiis and some belly dancing bar. It was very fun to test out our Costa Rican dance moves in these places. A lot of them are half in door and half outdoor. Almost all of them are right on the beach and we enjoyed going to them during the sun set because it was the most beautiful sites. This is one of the belly dancers from a bar we were at,

People in Puerto Viejo are very friendly and were not as aggressive as other people we had encountered so we were relieved. This was the first city that we actually met friends that were locals and were able to continue hanging out with them. We got the biggest kick out of all trying to speak the others language. They were able to show us the fun places to go as well as make sure we didn’t go anywhere unsafe. Here is the crew that normally went out dancing,

We were shocked to realize that in one of the dance clubs, Mango, they only played popular American songs. Our whole group died laughing listening to the Costa Ricans singing along to these songs. Other the other bars played only Reggae music so this was a little change from what we had gotten used to. The music scene here is incredible and dancing is very popular. We thoroughly enjoyed our nights out but the late nights catch up with me when we go surfing the next day.
