Wake up with Gallo!

Posted in Uncategorized  by admin | January 29th, 2009

Gallo pinto (or gallopinto) is the prototypical traditional dish of Nicaragua and Costa Rica cuisines. It is considered the national dish of both countries, although the two prepare it in a different manner, and is eaten as a part of any meal. Though many variations exist, the dish at its most basic is composed of pre-cooked rice and beans fried together with spices such as cilantroonion andpeppers. (wikipedia.com);;;and don’t forget the SALSA LIZANO!

The name gallo pinto means “painted rooster“.

The last week of january the surf was sick! for real! after many hours of surf we find the force to go on the beach with the camera and have few shots, the condition in here wasn’t the best, the on shore wind was already blowing, but still nice shape and size. 

Now, can you just image the same wave with off shore breeze make it barreling at 7 glassy a.m., with 2 feet more size? that’s what we been surfing!! best waves of new season … for the moment :)

Salsa Brava is not for all!
