The new Matt Damon and Clint Eastwood movie “Hereafter” was just released on DVD and Blu-Ray. The picture is incredibly clairvoyant as it opens with a huge tsunami scene just like the ones we’ve been watching recently on CNN. The movie is about a psychic, played by Matt Damon, but is in real time telepathically depicting a scene similar to something from the March 11, 2011 earthquake which was just 80 miles off the north east coast of Honshu, Japan and had a magnitude of 9.0.
The Japan tsunami catastrophe has reached all the way across the Pacific Ocean. Its surge has been felt as far away as the pacific coast lines of Canada and North, South and Central America. Boat harbors up and down the coast of California were hit to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
Here in Central America many of us ex-pats and vacationers received frantic calls and e-mails from our friends and families up north after hearing news reports that, “The Japan tsunami is headed straight for Costa Rica!” Many of us down here living on the Pacific Coast beach town in Jaco were so alerted by all of this we got together for an all night tsunami watch.
Respectfully so, we began the night by lighting up a round of cigars in the outdoor Jacuzzi under the stars. My girlfriend and I were part of a group that was at the hotel for “Desire Explosion” week at the Copacabana Desire Hotel in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica. There was a live band and lots of open minded people on vacation and enjoying the ambiance of a truly adult hotel. A number of couples were doing the nude pool thing. I wound up here in the Jacuzzi, my girlfriend and I, and three other couples smoking cigars and doing a few shots of tequila.
As a matter of fact we were so serious about our tsunami watch we decided to post up one couple as “tsunami guard” on the beach out in front of the hotel. So we all decided to pick straws. The couple with the long straw was to go on the first shift and the shortest last. Shifts changed every other hour so they were two hour shifts. My girl and I both got short straws.
What a great party in the Jacuzzi as we were all laughing and joking about the couple that just left. They had to build the hut! Wow, what a turn on for my girlfriend, the thought of being on a real tsunami watch on a tropical beach! The hours raced by quickly and before you knew it we found ourselves out there, hunting for a tsunami in the middle of the night on a tropical beach.
We walked the beach under the stars and the beaming of a nearly full moon. We were told that the outpost wasn’t too far and that it was actually pretty comfortable. So as we headed off, south on the beach we could see a dim flicker of candle light up ahead. We came onto a neatly fabricated hut made of bamboo and palm leaves. There were lamps made of coconuts and candles everywhere and even an ice chest full drinks and snacks. It was like something out of a scene from Gilligan’s Island.
The sun rose in the Caribbean side and eventually peaked over the hills to shine down on the Pacific Ocean. Truth be it the Japan Tsunami never made it this far south. But there was a tsunami alright; it was a tsunami of an enchanted night of desire.
As we all checked out of the hotel at the end of the week, we thanked out lucky stars that the tsunami never hit. I thought maybe I’d never see any of these people again? Then I thought I’m not getting any younger, so what am I waiting for, you only live once. My girlfriend and I really re-connected that night on the beach. I think we’ll have to make this a regular thing. This coming May 21 through May 28, 2011 it will be Provocative Sunset week at the Copacabana Desire Hotel. What a good time to watch the sunset in the rain forest from the tsunami hut of love right in front of the enchanted adult hotel the Copacabana Desire Hotel in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica.
