Surfing!!

When we first got here I told myself that I wanted to learn to surf. Once after the first time we ate at the Panderia in Cabuya we went into a gift shop across the street where we met a man named Guillermo who taught surf lessons, he offered to teach me how to surf some time soon. So a few days after he picked us up, because we didn't have car yet, and took us to Playa Hermosa, where we met another man who would also be learning at the same time I was. We started out in the sand practicing what to do and how to paddle on drawn surfboards. Then we got the actual surfboards and put wax on them to help our feet grip better.

Then we went out to the water where Guillermo helped each of us, one at a time, to get a starter wave. It took a few tries but I finally managed to stand up (but only for a couple of seconds) I was so happy.

After a little bit I managed to stand up more often.

Meanwhile, my sister was playing in the sand digging for clams.

Then, we took a break for a snack and some water. After that it took me a while to get the hang of it again. Then, once I started getting a hang of it again, I looked awesome!!!

I would love to do it again sometime and I know that some of my friends would love to try it.
