Surf Camp #3 - Hola from Mexico!
Posted by AAVE Leader in : General AAVE Trip BLOG, Surf Camp , trackback
Hola to the family, friends, and anyone interested in our Surf Camp down here in hot, steamy, tropical and of course, beautiful Mexico!
We started off the trip in rustic town of Puerta Vallarta. The first night we went to dinner at a restaurant that served us way too much delicious guacamole. We then walked on the boardwalk, and in the midst of watching a mime perform, fireworks lit up the sky with dazzling colors.
The next day we headed towards an old mining town, high in the mountains, called San Sebastian. We got our bags packed, and headed off for a trek into the mountains, where our survival night adventure began. It rained some, be we all pulled through and reached the highest accessible point of the mountain! On the way back down to our camping area, we witnessed a beautiful golden sunset (which we got many pictures of so most of you will see what I am talking about). We hiked all the way down the mountain the next morning, which was an excellent time for everyone to talk and tell stories about their lives back home. The rest of the day in San Sebastian consisted of a huge Mexican style lunch, naps, a game of basketball with the locals, visiting an old old cemetery, and exploring the old mines of San Sebastian.
After the six hour drive from the mountains down to the beach, with a few food stops to get killer sandwiches and ice cream . . . we ended up at our new beach home at Boca de Iguanas! That is where I am writing to your at the moment. The first day here everyone met the surf instructor, Odin, and he started off with a land lesson on surfing. Before everyone knew it . . . they were in the water catching waves!
The next few days were full of morning runs on the beach, a lot of surfing, and cooking all our own meals on the beach with the waves crashing into the shore as our we enjoyed our view from our little cosina. We also went to Barra de Navidad a few times, which is a little surfer, beach town located 30 minutes south of our camping spot. Hammocks were bought by everyone, we had a day of kayacking, and a pizza dinner. We also got the pleasure to see our own surf instructor and his buddies surf at their local spot. It was very inspiring to everyone, Im sure.
Alright . . . time for me to take a swim in the beautiful Pacific Ocean. We miss you all! Adios!
