When I flew back down to Costa Rica last Saturday, I was standing in line at passport control at the international airport in Liberia and Stephanie, who you see pictured her, was in line behind me. So, we started up a conversation. Stephanie and her husband, Brian, own a restaurant in Denver, but they have dreamed about living and owning a restaurant in a tropical paradise. Brian opened their restaurant in Tamarindo the previous Monday, and Stephanie flew down to join him for the first weekend. She will divide her time between Tamarindo and Denver until they sell their Denver restaurant.
My brother-in-law and I stopped by to enjoy dinner at their restaurant last Sunday. It was very good. Barbeque is their specialty. The restaurant is called Longboards. (Tamarindo is a surfing town, after all.)
As you can see in this photo, Stephanie and Brian are obviously very happy pursuing their dream of owning a restaurant in a tropical paradise. I will tell you more about their restaurant and give you a little creative challenge tomorrow.
Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on our travel photo site, Viva la Voyage. This week we will take you to another tropical paradise, the Big Island of Hawaii, featuring aerial photos of an active volcano.
I wish them lots of luck, more than some of our restaurants here who have been hit fairly hard by the economy downturn. Some others, however, are thriving which I hope happens for theirs.
