Oh waves how I miss you!

Hola from outside the taco stand!
Well I am still hanging out in La Ticla. Its a pretty easy place to get stuck. Small town, good food, great people. The waves have been fun, but lately they have been very small. the lack of good surf has led me to other endevors. A few days ago a group of us hitched a ride up river and floated our way back into town. The river was low so it was a lazy ride. It was interesting passing local women doing laundry in the rivcr. They got quite a kick out of us dragging bottom on the sand bar and popping a few of our intertubes. A couple hours later and the river brought us right out to the ocean where we proceeded to bodysurf the small intertubes in the waves. Being repeatedly thrown on the sand as the sun set. Makes you feel like a little kid! I moved from staying in a room to setting up my recently aquired tent these girls from Santa Cruz gave me. Nice and cheap. Less than 5 bucks a night to pitch a tent. The spot is right by the river and you can see the waves coming in from camp. I also bought a huge hammock, you could fit a small family in it. Its pretty great. I think next time I come to mexico to surf I will drive. There are some people here with the best camping setups. A person could easily live cheap and in style through the winter here. A pickup with a camper would be great. Next time! I will be here for a few more days through the next swell. Fingers crossed for good surf. Then possibly meet up with Rachelle when she arrives and cruise down south a ways. I´m starting to get the itch to move.

Much love
