so l lied...

I thought I was an actual surfer yesterday before the afternoon surf, but I was so wrong....  I am now an actual surfer, of course now I realize I'm just an actual beginning surfer but a surfer all the same.  Yesterday was soooo cool, I was standing all afternoon.  Then this morning I was off to a great start, stood up right away.  My pop ups were strong then some how I lost but I finished strong.  And let me tell you when your last couple of rides are good it makes your entire night!  We went to this place called Mary's it was of course delicious... I had one mojito and was feeling tipsy (I actually had two but I was feeling pretty good before the second one arrived).  And this morning we were all l so tired, we asked the yoga instructor, who is so tiny and cute -- Brazilian and totally beautiful--- that we wanted easy yoga and so we did partners yoga, so much fun!  Everything stretches so much better... of course we couldn't stop giggling but it was great, and totally got us ready for morning surf.  I had Pam as my partner, she's my new favorite person. She must be close to six feet tall and is so funny.  She just got a new job as an AP journalist covering the CIA.  How cool is that.  And she has hilarious online dating stories.  Her current guy total pack rat and not just a collector a hoarder, like what you would see on Oprah. She's a crack up, you would all love her. 

So tomorrow we have an extra long morning surf so we can go on a canopy tour!  Can't wait.  Ooh and I finally found some one to travel with for a few days after camp is done.  We of course are clueless of what we want to do but she's and adventurer, Lahn is her name.  I think we will have a great time.  We might go see the giant sea turtles on the Caribbean side. 

Alright dinner and movie tonight, should probably go practice some more pop ups,

Oh and yes I did hear about Paris losing her $60M -- how crazy is that. 

I can't wait to see Britney's OK Mag spread. 

I may be an actual surfer

So my first morning went really well.  Mostly because I just kept remembering that I'm in Costa Rica surfing, and that's just crazy... I should have worked out a bit more, (when I say a bit I really mean a lot more-- something beyond competitive push ups for a day) anyway there is this girl Waverly she's from Dallas, some of you know how i feel about Dallas.  But she's actually great.  She worked out... and tried surfing in Barbados... but  i think we can probably still be friends anyway... she doesn't eat certain carbs, haven't really figured out which one but I guess it turns out you do really have to watch what you eat and workout to look like she does. and another girl Brit, (Brittany) I was kind of worried about her you know being named Brittany and all but she an interesting one a Navigator on a boat that takes in data so people know where to drill for oil, she has a British boyfriend, and a giant shark mouth tattooed to her back, an odd duck that one, taught her self to surf, turns out she's doing it wrong so she's a little frustrated.  and she can't sit still by the pool.  So I did get up but I quickly fell off,  the board is of course slippery so its hard to actually get up all the way sometimes but you know it turns out if you really follow instructions it kind of works,  oh my instructor is Erika -- totally adorable.  but afternoon surf in a couple of hours and I need to go the Pharmacia.

 

 

Seen a few lizards, a squirrel and some all white cows....

Not to worry I've made it to Mal Pais in one piece.  So far the other girls on the trip seem pretty nice.  Everyone seems to be to tired to be social.  But they've assured each other after a nice shower and nap they will be much more chatty.  So the hotel is great, we can walk to the beach and internet access.  I was in my room less than 20 minutes before I put my swim suit on... I've tried to check out the town a bit and get some chapstick but its sunday so things seem pretty closed... however the ice cream was open which was very nice.  It is of course hot but not unbearable in the least. I think this will be good.  I'm now really feeling bad for not working out more before I came but really no point in thinking about that now.  I did remember a lot of advil so I'm sure it will all be good.  Met a few characters--- some crazy beverly hills mom who is totally going to hook up with some rich guy out here and had to tell us her son is friends with Billy Idol's daughter, does anyone care about her and the fact that she thinks its a good idea to wear a slip as a dress?  Yeah neither did we... And her newphew was there too, had to mention he was in a band as if it wasn't obvious from all his air guitar and what could almost be considered singing but was really more of a yelling mumble while we were and many others were waiting for our connecting flights.  and she's had her son's nanny for ten years, he's now 18, and the nanny speaks perfect english and she doesn't speak a word of spanish, even though this lady raised her child and now is her personal assistant, because OMG what would she do if she had to leave her house fora whole week, "I mean someone could rob me." 

Anyway tomorrow morning we begin the surf adventure... I'm hoping I'll be good at it, not that I'm super athletic or anything but I am a water sign so I should be at one with the waves... and I figure that has got to help right...

Slow start to costa rica

So I'm testing out this email to blog thing. Mostly because the
computers seem to be down for my airline and I'm doing my best to be calm and go with it. I'm sure they will somehow get me there. Everything always works out. I'm just repeating this over and over. Its working. I'm hungry but less worried. I feel better someone
finally got in line behind me. Let me tell you being very last totally
sucks. The line is moving but I'm still outside remaing calm. Afterall
I'm going on vacation. Last time I went on vacation I was told I was
unaffectionate and wouldn't fall in love AND I got a boyfriend and
that was only four days in DC this is ten days in Costa rica can't
wait to see what happens. I have total expectations of being the next
blue crush girl with cool Abs- at some point this wish has to come true. Probably when I start working out but fingers crossed its sooner than that. Ooh so I made it inside. I'm sad I have to check my bag I
used to be a light traveler though there's an airport story where I end up in tears that tells me otherwise. One of those self
misconceptions. Ew I bet I will have to sit in he middle because
I'm last but the good news is it looks like it really is going to workout. Next thing you know I'll have crazy BC abs. Alright thanks
for keeping me calm. We are going to do our best to keep up with blogging adventures. Ooh crazy girl two people up is going to research sea turtles. This is going to be an interesting flight.
