Hola todos,
Today marks the end of the first two weeks of my adventure, and I am glad to say that each day seems to trump the last. As I'm more than a few glasses of vino tinto deep, please forgive me for any typos and poor grammar.
The past week has been a fantastic surf week - from early morning sessions to beautiful sunset soul sessions. I've progressed from a 9'6" long board to a 6'6" fun board. The purchase of the latter signifies the beginning of a four-month surfing odyssey, which I'm incredibly stoked for. While terrified by the large, dark submarine silhouette only four feet from my surf board at 06:00 hours a few days ago, I cannot stress how excited I am to be surfing every day.
As many of you may know, previously I have not been too keen on fish... But about a month before I set off for Costa Rica, Matt and Luke Pastuszok and I caught a beautiful salmon in Georgian Bay, which we could not resist on marinating in a classic maple Canadian glaze and cooking for lunch. This was the first experience of mine trying fish - and it was amazing. A few days ago, Justin of Halifax, Will of California, Rhiannon of Colorado and I bought a red snapper from a small fishing shop in Tamarindo. With home-made guacamole, hot tortillas, freshly-caught fish and a couple bottles of wine, these fish tacos have been the best meal of the trip.
Today, the co-owners of Blue Trailz Hostel took us to a look-out point above the Pacific ocean where we shared many stories and several bottles of wine. After seeing a scorpion and spending some time with their dog, we went to their beautiful casa where we exchanged stories, drank more wine and had several pizzas. I cannot even imagine what the following months will be like.
Keep in touch,
Jeremy
