We went to Puerto Escondido on Mexico's west coast to Playa Zicatela, world famous for its surfing. We spent Thursday through Sunday (today) there as a much needed mental health weekend. Its funny, I often go places and think "I could live here" but this time I think I mean it. I guess time will tell....
We surfed with Jaime (pronounced Hi-May) for two days, and a total of about 5 hours. Talk about a rush, WOW!It took a couple times to get the hang of it, but I did, we both did! It was quite a workout but one I didnt want to end. We had so much fun. I think I swallowed more saltwater than one should, but oh well. Sometimes the waves beat you up a little bit. I had no idea the Pacific Ocean could be so warm, but it was. We heard it ranged around 90, which I know may sound too hot for some of you, but it was truly perfect!
Other than surfing, swimming and sunbathing, we didnt do a whole lot. We stayed in a terrific hotel where we had a gorgeous view of the ocean and private hammocks to enjoy it in. We saw huge lizards, some fish, and even a scorpion, the weather was hot and the breeze was perfectly cool. What an adventure we are having...
