Manolo’s Bar Sussy:

This is one of the hardest places for me to write about, because it is, in my mind, my home away from home. So! I will tell you a little of what I like, and let you come to your own conclusion. Bar Sussy, is a two story bock building, with iron bars and a concrete floor, in the center of town, on a dirt road. (Now at least you know if you’re in the right place or you could just look at the sign) Manolo’s Bar Sussy is to me, the embodiment of everything I like about Zancudo. It is a combination, with no distinction, for young and old, rich or poor, happy or sad, where everyone is known by there first name and what you have done in the past or going to do, is your own business. Where you are as likely to see someone showing off their newborn child, as you would, 4 or 5 old guys playing air-guitar and sing old Chuck Berry songs late on Saturday afternoon. This is Bar Sussy, where you can learn how to laugh at yourself or listen to all the old stories in four different languages.

                                                                                   Where you can stop for one beer or spend the evening. Where everyone is welcome, no matter how important they think they are back home, from a dentist from Cleveland to gardener from Golfito. All that is asked is to leave your problems, the chip on your shoulder, or a bad attitude at the door. (You can always pick them up later or there is a truck that comes by once a week, just for that reason.) It is a place with food for the traveler, beer for the thirsty, conversation, laughter, and stories (some true), enough for everyone. Bar Sussy is the place where, time and distance is measured from. (Oceano 500 meters north, of Bar Sussy… Alberto’s 500 meters south, of Bar Sussy,

Where do you live? “Across the road from Bar Sussy, it’s a five minute walk, from Bar Sussy.”) This is Bar Sussy, and it run by a true gentle man by the name of Manolo, for without Manolo, it would be just a block building on the side of the Zancudo road. He and his Bar Sussy, without trying to, are probably the best known people and places in the area. Wither you are lost or found, need directions or just a suggestion, (“Tom no more rum.”) he is always there to help. So! Once again I could go on and on but I couldn’t tell any more then I already have. I‘m sure after you have visited Zancudo you will have a much better description. So, stop in and ask for Tom and we will have a beer or maybe (one little) rum. And we will talk of, Zancudo, Good Dogs, Bad Women, and Old Music. And then maybe we will have (one more) little rum.   From the Zancudo road.  Tom
