Bob and Andrew closing el sal surf chapter Hmm let's see the past week or so has been a blur of surf eating and naps. I could end the blog there but I'll try and recap a few of the surfs. I have to add the first night bob was here there was a town party/fundraiser which was a blast. Good food decent street dancing and music and beautiful local girls. Oh one liner about Sarah as we picked her and bob up the same night. She seems like a nice girl little stange but we didn't even hang out with her much because we were surfing all the time. I kind of felt bad but oh well. She said she had a good time and just wanted to relax. We did end up scoring pretty ... read more

El sal time warp Alright let's see. I don't know if I mentioned the coffee plantation and waterfall tour we did with the boys in the last post so I'll briefly hit that. We got picked up around 8 am and drove out into the hills for about 2 hours or so to a tiny town where we had to stop to pick up some police officers to accompany us to the waterfalls. We picked up a local girl guide as well and hiked down to the falls. It was very pretty the falls were all around us. We got to swim in some and climb up a bit and jump off. We also went down some man made tunnel the was super dark and sketchy. Haha but it was a good time. From here we ... read more

Lost in time So it's been over a month since I have done and update so this will be either long or really short. HahaLet's see I finished out my stay in Honduras working at Via Via working with Sayda and Rosa. I was really enjoying my time there. I was starting to feel at home and having a nice routine. I was trying to work out when my knee wasn't hurting. Rosa and I went out to dinner on valentines day then she made me dinner one night she is a nice but little loco girl haha. My last teachers were decent. My second to last one I didn't like to much but my last one was a young kid really enthusiastic about teaching and made it fun. My last night Sayda her family and ... read more

Jan 14... Feb 5 Let's see I didn't realize how long it has been since I have updated. I'll try and make it short and sweet but well see haha. So I arrived at copan took a taxi to the school where I met the 2 women who own the school. They showed me to my homestay, which is kind of a hostel. The first 2 days I slept in the dorm room because there were people staying in he private room. I spent the weekend walking around town trying to get oriented and did some window souvenir shopping. My first week of class was decent. I took 4 hours in the am and 3 hours in the pm for the first 3 days but a school group came so they didn't have any teachers for ... read more

Jan 3 ... Let's see week in review. Bea and I went Roaton Friday afternoon after class. It's was about an hour and half boat ride and quite rough, lots of kids were throwing up. When we got there the first hostel we went to was full and the second one had only 2 beds left so we snatched them up. We went out for an amazing BBQ seafood dinner. Saturday we had a massive breaky and just relaxed drinking coffee then we went on a walk from west end to west bay. It was a nice walk on the beach. We stopped to have lunch along the way. When we got back I went snorkeling a bit in half moon bay. At night we again had a delicious dinner at a place that was owned ... read more

Dec 25- Jan 3 Well it's been almost ten days since my last entry. Lest see. Xmas was weird. We finally had some meat and decent food. Then Alexandra left with the kids so the girls and I hung out on the porch till midnight when there was a massive flux of fireworks set off. It was crazy lasted ages too. The day after Xmas I walked around with Andrea and Kayle to the mall and then to the Dole park just trying to kill time, very slow weekends here. Let's see classes are decent Spanish is very hard though it's gonna take me much longer than I thought to learn it. I'm pretty slow. And hate studying Haha. My teacher was sick one day so I have a extra day at the end of my ... read more

Learning Spanish in Honduras Dec13-25 Alright lets see. I will try and catch up the past almost 2 weeks briefly. I left the states this time as most, full of emotions. "why am I leaving, cannt I have normal life and live for the weekends like most people, being sad saying by to mom and dad." I am normally reassure myself with in the first day or so, generally by surfing, meeting people, doing some fun activity and say "yes this is why I do what I do and love my life". However this time around it was a bit rougher. My first day of Spanish classes it rained most of the day, as we walked around to have a city tour. I was pretty disappointed by the beach and the city. I started freaking out, ... read more

Nov 7 So again I haven't been keeping up with this very well. The only note I have is surfed la santa.  It wasnt amazing but good fun. I'm pretty sure it was windy in the am and I drove up to the north east to check it but it was small and not really working. La Santa was much bigger but very disorganized. It was mostly lefts on the inside of the cove/bay.  There was a local guy there yelling for waves that I was sitting inside of him for such a dick. It wasn't even good but clearly he thought he deserved every wave.  Nov 8 So it cleaned up quite a bit today surfed la Santa derecha. It was over head but a bit fat. It was probably the best right hand sesh ... read more

Spain travels  Alright so seeing as I have been traveling for some time now I need to catch up on some journal/blogging. Let's see.  Oct 27  I arrive to Bilbao after a somewhat turbulent plane ride. I took the public bus from the airport to down town were I spent most of the afternoon trying to get a Spanish sim so I could call emil.  Once everything was sorted I had made plans to meet Emils flat mate at the bus station in a few hours so I walked around an grabbed some dinner before meeting him.  I finally meet Ollie and we took the metro out to sopelana and then hoofed it 20 mins or so up to Emils flat. Ollie is a laid back German surfer who sets up small business around the world ... read more

March 30 So today I got up had my breaky then went for a surf. It was quite a bit smaller and not as good yet when I first got out there were still tons of guys out there. Haha. Anyway after that I packed up and cleaned the house up a bit i headed for Lima. I took a convi/collectivo back to the center area where I then caught a taxi to Daniels house, luckily his maid was outside and she let me in. I arrived around 5:30 or so and found out Daniel wasn't going to get out until 8 or so, so i just hung around. When he got home we went out to a relatively up scale restaurant to grab dinner, one of his friends an American missionary joined us as well. ... read more
