Hey Everyone! So after yesterday´s crappy entry about being robbed (still stinks, but I´m over it), I wanted to send you a more uplifting update and let you know that...I surfed for the first time last night! Whoo hoo! It took me about 6 tries to catch a wave and actually stand up (that last part is the hardest!). Most of the times I wiped out and ended up with a lot of salt water in my nose, one time I rode the wave all the way in like a boogie board...and then on my last attempt (I was about to call it quits because it was getting a little late and the wind was making me very cold), I caught a wave and stood up! I rode it all the way to the sand, where my friends were standing and cheering. What a great feeling!!...and a much needed pick me up from the events of the morning.
So now we are just wrapping things up here in Mancora before our big bus ride today to Trujillo.
So I´ll leave you with this little tale...The first morning here, I woke up in my cabana to find what looked like a little terd beside me on the white sheets. I immediately flicked it off and thought, ¨I really hope that isn´t mouse poop or something¨. Seeing as there are probably few mice here, we put together that it must have been the gecco that my roommate spied this morning climbing on the wall. So that means that at some point the other night that lizard was climbing on me in bed and then crapped next to my head. Oh, sweet South America...you´re full of surprises!

i can't believe a lizard crapped in your bed - awesome.
and congrats on surfing!!!
What a nice little surprise.
also this story reminds me when Mike's parents dog crapped in our bed. Travel safely.
when you come back and you're missing your travels, i'll come sleep over and crawl on you and let one out next to you on your bed just as a little reminder of your fun times. ps i will go kung fu panda on the thief with the white t shirt over his dk mode head
Cara-
Bill is stoked to know he now has someone to go surfing with. I wish I could beam myself over and share a 12 hour bumby bus ride. It seems like all the traveling (longggg rides) must be one of the hardest parts of the trip. You are keeping me laughing and on the edge of my seat. Today is a party at Ellie's with John and family. We will miss you big time and toast you in your absence. It will be at 5pm my time, try to feel the love if you are awake:)
