Surf’s Up and Feliz Cumpleanos

Thought about writing this post in Spanish, but unlikely it would make much sense and probably need to learn some more before i try that.

After breakfast yesterday, we waxed the boards and walked down to playa guiones. So nice to be about a 3 minute walk from our place.

Wax On, Wax Off

Onshore breeze had already started, so the conditions were not great but still ride able. Discovered quickly that we are in much better physical condition than our last visit in 2011. After a few paddles back out in 2011, we were about spent. This time we surfed about 3 hours until the conditions worsened. Great way to start the trip! Cleaned up back at the house, then walked a couple minutes over to the super market to stock up on some food. Immediately saw some howler monkeys up in the trees above the main road.

Cooked a nice meal for dinner and enjoyed some of our ron centanario rum. Indulged in a couple of our Trits for dessert. Trit is an ice cream and cookie sandwich they only have here and for some reason tastes like the best one ever.

Relaxing in the hammock chair with a frosty beverage on a warm afternoon.

Sunday, feliz cumpleanos a Cristobal! Woke up early to get some glassy surfing conditions for my birthday. Sun rises here around 6, but was able to make it down to the surf around 8. Enjoyed about 3 hours out in the water with my beautiful wife surfing, might have to make this a habit for all future birthdays. Took some gopro footage, but won’t be able to share any of it until we get back to our laptop in the states.

Worked up a serious hunger surfing and decided to use up my meat of the month choice at lunch today. An aussie burger from the gilded iguana, which is a cheeseburger topped with with bacon, fried egg, beet, carrots, pineapple, lettuce and tomato. Spectacular!
