Day Three

So... I can barely type because I am so sore. Therefore I decided to torture myself all over again. The search for an alarm clock failed, but by some miracle (karmic E2) I managed to wake up at the perfect time. I went to breaky this morning, and Lucien was there so I joined her. I got the same thing as yesterday because it was so good but had the Mango juice instead of the pineapple which may be my new fav. I then went to yoga and did way better today. I think I was just flustered yesterday from my travels. I even learned how to do the yoga hand stand. It's way different then what you do on your lawn. I liked it.

I came back and Chris and I hung out in my room. He was using me for my AC lol but I didnt care and we watched some of the MJ memorial from a live stream on his lap top. I got bored and decided to go into town in search of the alarm clock (which failed). It was the first time since I've been here that I've actually done something alone. I liked it, but also hated it- I'll get to that part later. So I went to Organico for lunch, all organic and vegetarian food! It was soo good. I had fresh watermelon juice, it's so pure and amazing. I also got the nachos (I was going to get salad to stay on my health kick but they looked SO good). It was like a bed of lettuce with black beans and cheese melted on top. Then to the sides were pico de gallo (my favorite thing in life) and Guacomole (the best I've ever had). Tortilla's lined the side! It was SO good! I wrote post cards while I sat all by my lonesome. I even used some spanish.

I find I actually learn spanish while I'm wandering by myself. That way I have no one to translate for me and its like my only option. I still suck though!

After lunch I started on my hour long hike to our secret surfing spot. I figured if I left early it would be easier cause I could go slower. On the way.. I stopped and bought some bracelets from a guy. Chris told me to not be a pussy and bargain. SO I got three for the price of one! GO ME!

Then the lonely hike began- NEVER AGAIN. The full moon makes the tide absolutely HUGE. It was insane today. I kept on trucking though... I thought that the locals had thrown plastic spiders in the woods to scare off the tourists and laughed my ass off about it yesterday thinking how they were so funny. WELL... today while walking much slower I notice these Bright Red Plastic Spiders the size of my hand were actually..... are you ready for it..... REAL CRABS! They live on the hiking path- REAL. NOT FAKE! I Almost ran my butt straight to the airport... but decided to chant karmic energy for the remaining 45 minutes. That 45 minutes however turned into 20 because I ran my Tush the whole remaining way. Then I notice that the tides were up past the trail so I had to wade through the water... and the other HUMONGOUS gross crabs (the ocean kind) were everywhere... I couldnt catch a break. I screamed and just kept running. It was so not fun. I got to the secret beach and decided that this was going to be my last day surfing. I was like HELL NO- am i getting attacked by a large crab (dane cook skit is flashing in my mind for those of you who know what I'm talking about). Anyway because I ran the whole way crying and screaming and chanting...

I got to the beach 1 hour early. I couldnt sit on the beach because of the tide and I couldnt sit at the surf shack because I was afraid of the lizards and apparently the Monkeys will pelt you with mangoes. So I stood on the beach almost bawling. Its soo funny looking back. Then some local named Torry I think came and he offered to climb a tree and get me a mangoe. I declined and he thinks my name is Tessa LOL. He asked if he could take me into Montezuma tonight and I was just thinking to myself (traveling alone= bad)...I declined again stating that I don't party. I'm going to be raped and murdered and my carcass will be eaten by crazy eyed plastic crabs! JUST great! But then Pablo my surf instructor came and saved me. Turns out Torry was harmless and is his friend.

So then everyone started to arrive about 20 minutes later while Pablo and I were setting up. Well Pablo was setting up and I was playing with another dog that followed me. So we got out to the water which they said was absolutely terrible! Just dandy! I did SO good though! I got up today. I can paddle and stand! I need to practice my jump up to the board (think "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"- Your doing to much do nothing, well not nothing LOL) - Anyway... I surfed in some crazy waves today. Did I mention that Torry and a bunch of locals were watching me and making fun of us! I'm the worst in my group and everyone knows it... but I'm the only one here for 4 weeks so I got tons of time. Needless to say once you hit the water- all the stress of crazy crabs and hiking and pained muscles just disappears! It's so calming to have the crap beat out of you by those waves. I wouldnt trade it for anything and I love it! I can't wait until I'm actually self sufficient and half decent! Some of the other girls kicked major @$$ today- was so happy for them and it just pushes me to catch up! Having Ugly short hair totally helps too cause its not in the way at all!

After surfing I hiked back with Chris and Tiara and Adam and then Chris and I went to get some bevy's from the local market. I have only been drinking natural juice and water so I thought I should up my electrolights with a gatorade! It was SO yum! Back to water.

Now Chris and I are just chillen on the hammock patio. We're about to go to El Sanyo Banana to get Dinner and watch Twilight... they play a movie every night and tonight it is twilight so I am SOO stoked! I can't even wait!

After that- I'll prob head to bed... I'm exhausted and have yoga again in the morning. It will be interesting to see if I can move tomorrow because today has been overwhelming. It's all good pain though- and no sunburn yet just a nice light base... 70 spf 24/7 kind of puts a damper on the tanning sitch. I do not want GVHD so I will compromise being Edward Cullen's twin to being a tan surfer babe with painful GVHD! I think its a pretty good trade off! lol

I'm loving all the comments and support! Everyone is being so supportive and great! I do miss everyone a ton! I can't wait to see you all in a month!

OH and p.s. I booked my zip lining tour for saturday at 11 and Horseback riding to the waterfalls on sunday at 10! I am so excited! Hopefully I will be able to move. I am supposed to go hiking tomorrow to the waterfall- but I am just so nervous that my body will be way too worn out if I push it anymore. If the surf sucks tomorrow- I may swap surfing for waterfalls.

We shall see, shall see- stay tuned kids!

SOOO I just got back from diner and a movie!!!! I had thai spring rolls with Camaron (shrimp) that were like unbelievable. I need to start taking pics of my food! I also got a seafood pasta which was really average and a peno (pineapple) milk shake which was soo good!

I am chillen in the hammocks with Stephanie & Raquel and Chris! But they just peaced right as I was typing that! SOOO Nat is Ichatting me so I'm going to peace too!

Until Tomorrow Hasta luego!
