Gustavo

Gustavo is my Tico friend who has been working as the bartender at "The Shake" Bar and Restaurant since early 2007.  That was when I met him along with the two owners Bob and Will, both from Texas.  Last June, Bob died of a heart attack and shortly after that Will put the bar up for sale. 

Unfortunately the bar has not sold and now Will is closing the doors and shutting it down - Tomorrow!

This past week Gustavo asked me to take some photos of him.  Esterillos Oeste has been a huge part of his life these past 6 years.  He and his dog Chiquita will soon be leaving and he wanted something to remind him of the good times.  These are the photos of the beautiful walk we had.  

The best of luck to you mi amigo!!

The Grassy Knoll

It's been awhile since we've had a day like last Sunday - where ever one comes together at the Grassy Knoll just for the joy of sharing each other's company.  Food, Fun, Friends - then dinner at my house that night :)
