Various odds and ends
OK...I am suitably recovered from jet lag and all that, although not enough to take any pictures to post on the blog. So, you will have to make do with text for awhile.
Not that I have much to write today.
It is cool and raining here, which is a surprise since rainy season ended a week ago.
Yesterday, I awkwardly fell on top of my board while getting off a wave and bruised a rib (at least I think I did...one of those things that does not seem serious enough to warrant a doctor visit, but painful enough that I wonder if I should). On top of that, later in the day, I stepped on a sea urchin. I was wearing booties, but the little bastard was sufficiently annoyed to shoot one of its spines through the bottom of the shoe. None of that is particularly serious, but it did make me wonder why I got out of bed.
Oh, I am working at the surf shop now. It might be better to say I am helping out as I am not receiving a salary, but I do get free lunch, free beer and surf wax. And I am learning how to run a shop, which could come in handy later.
That is it for now. I promise to post some pictures soon, so there is something nice to look at.
