Amigos for Lunch

We did a little Christmas shopping and then stopped by Amigos for lunch. They make great seviche. As to the shopping - this was a first. Signage to tell you not to bring your dog into the grocery store? Kidding, right? But then at the next grocery store I saw a person in line with their dog on a leash. That store didn't have a Prohibido sign.

 Here's BigJohn trying to figure out what kind of meat this is.

 This is one regular size bow. Costa Rica price is .485 so double that to get the price in US dollars. Almost $1 just for the bow! I miss Walmart!

 And this one's almost $1.12. Plus you already read in a previous post how they don't believe in candy canes. And you all say that Christmas is too commercialized. Just admit it. You love the shopping.

 I take too long so everybody is waiting for me at the restaurant.

 Trying out another Casado. Guess what the pink stuff is. Not jello! It's potato salad with beets! Yeah!

 BigJohn ordered normal colors for his lunch.

 And this place has such great service that while you are eating a vendor comes around to let you know what the latest movie releases are. To your table. You don't even need to stop by the video store.

 And guess what! The movies are only $2 each! And that's US dollars! Can't beat those prices. It must be the special US packaging that jacks the prices up. And here is Don Rafael showing us the latest releases!

 And here's where my Spanish comes in handy with my most often used phrase - "¿Puedo tomar un foto de usted por favor?" After I take their picture I have to look at it on my camera and say "¡Muy lindo!" Even if it's not a good picture I will still say that. But luckily they've all been pretty good. Except for BigJohn in this one below here. The waiter looks muy lindo though.
