Mexico Diaries : First Week

day 1

The overnight bus journey went to without a problem, except for having a minor wet dream at roughly 4.30am, but thats bound to happen if you haven't let anything out in close to a week. I arrived to Colima to find that Fanning had won in france and that Collingwood won the grand final, not that stoked.

we arrived to pasqualies by taxi and was edgar the owner made him self known and gave us a room over looking the beach with 2 beds, toilet/shower and a fan for 250 paso a night.

first person we talked to hear was a guy from byron bay who knew dane who we had just stayed with in boston only a few nights earlier.

the waves were kind of decent size like 4 or 5 ft with a odd bigger one, but it was a bit junky and all over the place, but offshore at least, dudes had their trucks and skis parked bit further down the beach getting ready to launch. two policemen went over there on quad bikes, while we watched from out hotel, a few local guys were blowing up about the guys having trucks on the beach.

surfed for a bit, like 45 minutes caught a few waves, tested out if i could still do spinners. tried a roll on a decent one and sort of hurt my shoulder. then pulled into a bit bigger one and got bounced pretty bad, kind of tweaked my neck a little. i hope it doesn't turn out to be a problem this trip.

i was pretty rattled by the time i got in, i felt really dehydrated and the sun had heated up a shitload within an hour. i ate, drank some water, watched the waves for a little longer then went for a nap.

i started reading my first Charles Bukowski book today, "hollywood" it wasn't hard to work out within the first chapters that its what californication is based on. i been listening to heaps of tame impala lately as well, feel bit stupid for not getting into them earlier.

Brett's going to get a surf board shaped by edgar, he's apparently pretty good and makes them for a good price, there Is some sketchy dude around i don't really like on first impression that had a truck load of boards he was trying to make us look at, we heard a story that he steals boards then tries to sell them back to people.

there is no wifi here anymore, so i guess we have to go into the town to check emails and shit, I'm not to worried I'm sort of siked on having a month of just surfing, eating, reading, listening to music and sleeping.

day 2

woke up to pretty big waves and a few guys standing up on the balcony watching, i went out for like an hour, came in for breakfast then went out again, got a few waves still nothing special.

smoked a bit of weed around the time the onshore came in and started playing asshole with few other guys, shit was getting intense.

went into town to get some internet and food supplies. got 3 loafs of bread, 2 boxes of saladas and some other snacks bars. also got a toaster so we can have vegimite on toast, that will be pretty good.

had dinner at "big big burger" was pretty cheap and decent, brett talked about working on the mines for an hour. the union and shit man.

played some more asshole later in the night, mass game 2 packs of cards, a venesalia girl wanted to play, she said she never played before but i think she had. she then went to bed and one of the guys yelled out if she wanted to go for a walk on the beach.. she said "what did you say" and he just said nothing.. and put his head down haha.

i sold one of my 2 bodyboards for 30 bucks, i have to get rid of all my gear before i leave, i should be right with one board the whole month.

day 3

fuck, i snapped my only board today, fuck it was pretty big. kinda spewing i sold that board last night and the dude left early this morning. brett has a spare board but its a 42, i might have to just learn to ride a stand up.

the fucking toaster short fused our power out. wtf mexico.

the powers been out in our room all day cause of that fucking toaster, its a fucking sweat box in here.

im surprised i havent got tap arse yet, ive been eating a shitload of chicken tacos. im sure it will come soon. not really looking foward to that.

day 4

waves were decent size again today.

went into town and ate some pretty gnarly tacos, worked out to be 2 for around a dollar. man this food is way better than i remembered it.

bretts board is looking real good, its ready to glass, id be pretty happy with that for $350

asshole is still getting thrashed everyone losing their shit over it tho.

day 7

waves were still good size last 2 days before. some seppo cunt had his 40th last night, 12 of us packed into a land cruiser and went to the strippers in tecoman. wait till those photos are leaked. holy shit
