April 2012

Rich Brown and family visited Villa Espiral for Semana Santa

Rich, Chris and Marisa, hanging out in the Villa Espiral pool.

Rosada was firing.

The Rancho Santana Clubhouse, within walking distance of Villa Espiral,  is awesome!

The Browns took the Rancho Santana road over to Los Perros (about a 5 minute drive). From there, you can check Panga Drops. Looks good!

And it's quite a view. That Pie de Gigante in the distance.

Howler Monkey!

Not a bad life, being a bird.

The Brown's headed over to Gigante and Selva Del Mar. This was taken from the top of Selva Del Mar, looking at Pie de Gigante

With help from the lovely Yamali Palma, the Browns organized the kids at Gigante for a little giveaway.

Chris and Marisa gave out several soccer balls.

Marisa hands out baseballs to the kids

Rich on a nice one at Magnific Rock

The Magnific Rock hotel and restaurant is a great place to hang out.

Chris and Marisa, at a hidden tidepool, just north of Playa Escondida. That's the point at Rosada in the distance

Here is a link to a video I made of our February 2012 visit to Villa Espiral.
