Secret Beach, Mexico (Mar 19-21)
We stopped in a small town along the way to see tons of huge crocodiles. The crocs weren´t fenced in… and could be a little scary. There was a funny Mexican dude who spent the whole time talking to another man while he was standing less than a meter away from a huge sleeping croc. The road to the secluded beach (which Luis has requested be left unnamed) was pretty rough for our VW. Luis strapped all 4 of his surfboards to the roof of our golf. We felt really cool but it looked kind of funny too. We set up camp on the beach and went surfing. The waves were too big for us non-experienced surfers to paddle out in. The waves got smaller later but there were tons on jellyfish. Luis got stung a bunch of times. That night we had a campfire, made some hot dogs, and randomly met more of Luis´s friends who also camped the night at the beach. There was a funny guy there named ¨Snakes¨ who we had met randomly at a different beach 4 years ago. We all sat around the campfire, talked, and drank beers. One of the guys girlfriends was a chef and cooked the best pasta we´ve ever had… spaghetti with cream sauce and chipotle. Ha ha Chaad. You should be jealous.
Woke up at 09:00 (by Linda´s military schedule), watched the ocean and had awesome mangoes for breakfast. Regardless of the big waves, Luis taught Linda how to surf in the white wash and she got up once… woot woot!!! Edmundo and Luis went out in the evening, but the waves were still really big so Luis surfed and Edmund practiced duck diving. Kara went out surfing on her own and the waves were huge! She impressed us all by her wave handling skills. We thought she was dead for sure. That sucks for Edmundo because a chick is better than him. During sunset Edmundo and Linda watched the crabs dig their holes in the sand and one of them even dragged a dead water snake down into his hole.
Woke up the last morning to people blasting music outside our tent. The waves were still too big, so we all decided to go back to Barra de Navidad to catch the baby waves. Luis taught Linda again and she go up twice… she´s thinking of going pro. While eating awesome, tasty tacos in town we randomly met Yull and Diana! They joined in on the taco eating festivities for a bit before they had to go. Stopped in Manzanillo on the way back to Guada to hang out and have a beer with Yoye and some other friends at the beach. Cool peeps! Feliz compleaños Yoye!
