So today was day two of surf lessons. We carried our boards all the way to the fourth beach (ribera or something). We first practiced how to stand on the board in the sand, and then we took a stab at it in the water. I stood up on my first try and rocked it! Surfing was not as hard as i expected, but just as fun. It is so exhilirating to work so hard at something yet feel so free. By the end of the day I was starting to turn a little and actually control my board. Maybe tomorrow they will upgrade me to a smaller board! I wish :-) After the boarding (and a lot of tough falls) we went to see a little water fall with our instructors. What fun! We then went home and showered really quick, and headed out to get a baguette at this place that had hebrew written on it in the window. I have been speaking to Adi in hebrew since I met her and she said I am really not that bad....though I often have to ask her what certain words mean and then I forget them a minute later. But, when we got to dinner the place was packed with screaming israelis and i really felt kind of awkward. It would have been nice and felt comfortable like home, but instead I was kind of embarassed that my people were acting like such animals. But, Adi was also embarassed and we carried on speaking in hebrew, which gave me that homey feelin i was looking for. Our surf instructors invited us out to a party tonight at a place called Favela so we will go to that pretty soon. We cant stay out too late though because we planned a trip for tomorrow and we have to have strength for our final surf lesson!
thinking of you all....and buying you gifts! haha
