Surf Contest

Every Saturday night from 4 to 6 there is a surfing contest at the next town--the beach there is called Hermosa Beach.  Chuck and Sharon, Gail and I, and our friends from Tennessee, Jim and Alena, decided to see what it was like.

The Group

  The name of the bar/restaurant is the Backyard.

The food was excellent.  We had some of the best fish fingers ever. They also had a BBQ going.

An easy way to figure how much something costs in US dollars is to just multiply the Colones price times two.  So here, the Kabobs would cost $3 each and two for $5.40, hamburgers are $7 and a hot dog is $4.  They had a full menu in addition to the BBQ.
We got there a little early and spent the time talking and watching the people.  Most everyone there was younger than us.  The ladies liked our waiter..

They were preparing for an evening of live music but we had a very long day and decided to make it an early evening.  

We will definitely go back.
