Mexico!

Well I have been here for a week or so now, guess I will quickly recap;




I flew in on new years eve to Puerto Vallarta, met up with Mark and stayed the night in Vallarta. Pretty mellow uneventful New Years. I was tired after getting in. Next day we hopped a bus from Vallarta to Manzanillo, it ended up taking a long time! We then got another bus to Tecoman, and yet again another to La Placita, we were headed for La Ticla which is on the coast in Michoacan, It was 1 in the morning and we had just passed a military convoy and checkpoint when the bus from Tecoman dropped us at the road that heads down to Ticla. No buses actually go to town (its really small). So we were looking at a pretty long walk but luckily some people in a jeep were headed to Ticla and we hitched a ride, once at the beach we pitched a tent and crashed out. The next morning woke to a beautiful sunny day with slight off shores and chest high waves. I surfed that morning and again at sunset. Ah Warm water, fresh fish tacos! Ticla is definitely a surf town, small but pretty busy the first few days when I got here, the waves are really consistent and can get pretty big (yesterday overhead). There are a lot of "local" tourists, students from Guadalajara, Morelia, even Mexico City and other towns in Mexico. I will be here for another week or so for sure, just surfing and hanging out. Not sure after that.
Much love
