Surfed Hermosa yesterday and got some fun fun waves. I went with Mike and Pat. We had a great time, and I love love love Mike's dog Paloma. She's so cute. Someone had put her in a burlap bag and threw her in the river. Mike has her now, and it's BEYOND me why anyone would EVER do something like that to an animal - especially Paloma. She's the most sweet, submissive dog. Pat took some photos, and she said that she will email them to me this week. About an hour before sunset we headed to Backyards, a bar in Hermosa that's a pretty 'happenin' spot. We met up with the whole Soda Mary crew: adam, maria, brett, ozzy, suzi, cam and ben to see Cupacabra - a local band that is friends with the crew. They were great - a cover band that played mostly classic rock, an awesome band to dance to...And DANCE we did!! Mike (legend mike) was busting some serious moves, Ben was breaking out some dances moves that only a 6'7" goofy English guy could, and Maria and I were shaking our booties. Good times, but the night pretty much ended when Brett tried to dip me and instead took us both down - like a ton of bricks. After that Suzi, Cam, Ben, Adam, Ozzy, Maria and I decided to go dancing in Jaco. We all hate the town, but at 8pm it was the only place happening in town. We all were hungry, so we stopped for food first. Bad idea, we ate and were all ready for bed. But before we left, we stopped for ICE CREAM!!! MmmMmM. All of us were exhausted and asleep by 10:30pm. Ha. So much for a party night.
I slept with the lights off last night, and I was in my room all alone! I had to put my ipod on though because every time I heard a rustle outside I thought that it was some crazy man who was going to try to bust into my room to kill me and eat me! Bah! So - after one song on the ipod I was sound asleep. Woke up this morning and went for a surf outfront...we were having a "World Domination Longboard Competition" because Ozzy (who lives in atenas) brought his longboard this time, as well as a load of trash talk. I whooped his ass. I think he was a bit hungover though from the night before (...light-weight). Also a highlight of the contest was the new 'stache that Adam is rocking. He looks:
a) like a 70's porn star
b) white trash
c) out of an old western
All these are very different, I know, but the mustache can be interpreted many ways...
The waves out front were actually really fun. The tide was low but the waves were breaking out pretty far and breaking all the way to the beach. After that we all had some burgers at Low Tide Lounge (BAH, I know, I have no control!!), then rested up for our evening session. I rested at Suzanne's house up the street. It's airconditioned!!!!!! WOOHOOO!! AC! We watched trash tv (E News Live and VH1), drank some BIALETTI (yes, she has a bialetti espresso machine), and she baked an upside pineapple cake for this evening. Surfed Bejuco this evening, but it was just death barrels. I'm surprised no one broke their boards - though Ozzy ruptured his eardrum and Adam ripped open his toe.
Again, the second time that I have ever tried to make plans this whole trip: a big dinner party of fish tacos at the house. Never happened. It was Ozzy, Cam and I tonight, and we had pasta. Hahaha. No plans in Costa Rica. It just doesn't happen. The only thing that will happen as planned is the upside down pineapple cake...I hope. Suzi's not here yet, but I'm hoping that she doesn't let us down. That would be a real heartbreaker.
Hopefully we will have some fun surf again tomorrow. We are hoping to catch the "Soda Mary Secret Spot" this swell (monday and tuesday). Woohoo.
Pura Vida. *to check out photos from our night out last night go here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=206886&l=28ed4&id=653500240
