Puerto

Now in

This place is really relaxed.It tried to build itself up as a resort, but hasn't *thankfully* suceeded.
Rented boards from this San Diego surfer, who gave a few pointers for the bigger waves. Here, you get the full punch of the mexican pipeline, and it can knock you for 20 meters or more before you can even stop spinning.
All said, what an experience. sunburnt, salty mouth, swaying motion when i walk *like when you come off a lond sea voyage* and no email sent to anyone for a few days now...sorry.
About 7 hours in the water yesterday and 6 today. Getting more used to it, and heading tomorrow for a wee hamlet called Mazunte, which is abotu 50 km from here.no roads for the bus, but you can get a collectivo....hang off the back of a lorry that means.....to the beach.
Been to zipolite and puerto angel just up from there, and they were great, but the surf is much better at mazunte. maybe a week there and then off to work in Ecuador. Nice to be using the brain again to prepare for a bit more studying.
Wonder how the students will be in Ecuador.Really miss my students in Gothenburg.Hello chaps, hope you're behaving for your new teacher!
