This is our last day in Puerto Escondido. It is kind of hard to tear ourselves away from this place. We have found a groove in the congregation and in the accommodation. Anyhow I am looking forward to getting to Oaxaca for some solid spiritual food in english.
We spent the day taking our time packing up our gear and sorting out what stuff we could leave behind with a brother here in the local congregation, so that we don’t break our backs lugging it to Oaxaca city.
… he snapped the newly repaired board in half …
Ashley picked up his board from the repairers. It was a fantastic repair job on the nose. So he was super keen to get out in the surf and try it out. The wave was super heavy and messy, anyhow on the second paddle out Ashley went to duck dive a monster set and the worst happened… he snapped the newly repaired board in half. Whats more it snapped in a different place.
… the night passed slower than an week old iguana taco …
We booked a 10pm bus to Oaxaca on first class, it was a horrible trip. The road was so windy and bumpy that the night passed slower than an week old Iguana Taco, I don’t think I got a wink of sleep all the way till the bus pulled into Oaxaca city at 6pm in the morning. Ashley even resorted to sleeping on the floor of the bus… funny thing was he freaked out a man when his hat fell on the floor and Ash handed it back to him!! Haha I would’ve loved to see that mans face.
Hi Justin, thanks for keeping us up to date with the trip. Enjoy the rest of the time
been watching your progress - all very jealous of an awsome trip. saw your family justin on the weekend, we hear congrats is in order. mts well done!!! works all ahead of you (early mornings and all!!!)
hello ash. new board needed? - in for some serious haggling ( lots of test drives ) - have fun
MTS: I still can’t quite yet fully grasp the privilege… wow!! I can’t wait to get there now!
Surfboard Update: Ashley decided to get his board fixed rather than spend money on a brand new board, especially when the wave at Puerto Escondido will just as easily snap a new one in five seconds flat.
