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

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 22  So i decided to just spend the day and catch a night bus to nacza. I walked around the town a bit found a place selling civiche,so good, then just hung in the plaza catching up on here and wondering around a bit more. There is something going on here because all the school kids are in the plaza dressed in their uniforms with flags and theres a military band and some people possible protesting something.  So while walking around I found a coffee shop so I popped in for a bit.

I started with choclo y ... read more

Feb 24 So when I got up this am Scott said he was headed to lobos as well with Chris the guy I met there yesterday. So I bummed a ride with them. Unfortunately the wind was out of the north so it was on it making it bumpy/lumpy. The guys didn't bother going out but I wanted to give it a go. It was pretty choppy and crap, again the sweep was terrible I did a lap around after struggling to stay in place. Well this time when I paddled across this little channel to get to the morris, big rock island, I was trying to clamber on the rocks I slipped and hit my board thank god for epoxy only spider cracks. But when I got out, I looked at my big toe and ... read more
