Reforestation and Surfing

amdawson @ 18:12

I stood on my surfboard. Not on the land but while being pushed to shore by a huge wave. That´s right, after what seemed like hours of being thrown around by the waves like a rag doll and fighting to get back out behind them, I not only caught one but I stood up for all of three seconds. I am now a surfer and will buy a cheap, used board from "Freddy" tomorrow, which I´ll be able to sell back in a month.

In other news the volunteer work is still going well. I´m beginning to know the sites and understand a little more fluidly what needs to be done and when. One of the new volunteers, Marcus, is a very funny/friendly British chap that may travel to Baños with me, which is good because I prefer to travel with someone.

Got into a strange, drunken debate with a group of young anarchists Friday night.
Got my sandals stolen off the beach, bought new ones, awoke to find that the new ones had been taken too (or blew away...we were camping on the beach).
I still cannot salsa to save my life.
Things are good, Ecuador is still beautiful, and the rainy season is just beginning.

  1. i'm pretty sure that standing on a surfboard for three seconds doesn't make you a surfer just yet... seriously, though, surfing and salsa-ing without me? i will never forgive you.

  3. But I bet Freddy agrees you are more than qualified to buy one of his premium surfboards. Just don't sleep on the beach with it.
