Longboards Restaurant Logo

Here is the sign with the logo for the new Longboards Restaurant. I love it. it captures the spirit of Tamarindo, with a wave and surfboard, a monkey, and birds flying off into the sunset.

Stephanie and Brian, the owners, even added the Costa Rican national slogan, "Pura Vida," to the design. Pura Vida means, literally, "pure life" and is used in a way similar to the way Hawaiians use Aloha. It can be a greeting to say hello, or goodbye, or thank you, or to say that you are fine or all is well, or best wishes.

This week we are showing photos from the birthplace of surfing, Hawaii, on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site, particularly aerial photos of an active volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.

  4. Obviously very clever people who conceived and designed this logo. PS. I'm in Santa Fe without a computer, and I'm having photo-withdrawal. Visiting the library is great for books but waiting for a computer to use is a huge pain!
