Bleary eyed, we stumbled back to Tamarindo after a miserably long journey via Miami from California to Costa Rica. Lauren was fresh as a daisy and ready for dinner upon arrival. Luckily, our friends Richard and Terri were here for a visit and volunteered to take the Pix out while I dozed off in mid sentence. When they returned, they discovered that their rental had been broken into and a number of electronics, shoes, and even T-shirts had been robbed.
