We found a great cafe very close to the
hotel called Pura Vida. That's the Costa Rican slogan, btw. They had
salads and smoothies, so it was no problem to stay raw (when you
wanted to). |

Now's the time when I talk about how
insane the reaction to Amelie was. It got to be silly. The Mexicans
would go a bit nuts over Amelie, not just holding her and taking her
in the back and passing her around, but taking pictures of her and
then not wanting to pass her to their friends, hogging her. On the
way to a timeshare demonstration ($260, cha-ching!) the guy taking
us there took a picture of Amelie with his cell phone camera, and we
look over and there's a guy in the taxi next to us (as we're
driving) taking a picture of her with his cell phone camera.
It was just bizarre. The worst part was the Pura Vida girls here fed
Amelie a french fry. That was pretty tragic, but she only had a bite
or two before we got it away from her. Such a bummer. |

To get ready for the wedding, I got a
hair-cut at the local place right there in front of the hotel. It
came out pretty funny looking, all poofy. Cami was telling me they
used a ton of hair-spray on the bridesmaids, giving them a solid
helmet of hair as their look. Samantha said that the lady who owned
the salon was pretty good about not doing that, but the other
stylists there went a bit nuts. |

Amelie and Naomi were having fun before
the wedding, playing around waiting for it to start. |

The wedding ceremony took place on the top
of the dining area. |
|
|
|
We got there a bit early, but the place
started filling up fast. |
|

|
Before the ceremony, we took some pictures
of the groomsmen on the beach. |

The ceremony was done by Robbie's brother.
He actually got ordained in order to provide this service, but in
fact they had already been legally wed a month before so that they
could deal with the paperwork of buying their condo and moving to
Mexico without any trouble. I thought that was kinda cool, because
that's what Naomi and I did. It was very difficult to get a picture
of the ceremony, since I had to hold the camera above my head, put
the flash on full blast, and just hope I got a decent picture. I
took about ten and this was the only one that turned out okay. |

The sunset was perfect for their ceremony.
It was a beautiful day. |

After the ceremony, walking back into the
hotel. Carol's mom is there in the pink. She's looking great, as is
Carol and Bill. |
