Day 125

     I woke up with Mike and Kevin (I’ll refer to them as the boys from now on so that I don’t have to type their names out for the next two weeks) at 7 to go hit the surf. It went alright but I tired so quickly. My plan is to try and do two-a-days this week so that I can get my swim conditioned quickly and fully take advantage of this week of surfing.

     After surfing we made oatmeal with peaches and then poured it ontop of a bowl of yogurt and bananas as well as home made cappuccino. In the afternoon I switched over hostels to another one in town that has better ratings and a better set up as far as amenities go. It was really nice, big screen with cable, wifi, huge common areas and kitchens and a ton of rooms and bathrooms but I instantly felt a desire to switch back to the small Surf Eat Sleep. But I told myself I needed to give it a fair chance because maybe it would turn into an awesome experience.

     Took the board out again that evening. Realized I am going to like morning surfing quite a bit more since the waves are pretty much the same but at 7am there isn’t a soul in the water but at 6 pm there are probably about 50 people and supposedly more on weekends.

     That night I tried to recreate Kevin’s pasta and must say I did a relatively good job. I love how cheap sea food is here. I picked up 2.2 pounds of shellfish for $2. Some French guys started poking around so I offered them some and received very good reviews actually!

      Funny but not so funny anecdote: While running between the grill and the kitchen I missed a step and totally laid out rolling/lightly spraining my ankle. Its funny now in hindsight but that night I was super distraught because I could barely walk on it and didn’t want to miss any surfing because of some stupid half second mistake.
