Waiting in San Jose

Santa Teresa turned out to be a good choice of towns to get washed into. It´s a very famous surfing destination (though I´d never heard of it) and I only met a single person who showed up for anything else. After I wrote my last post I ran into my dorm mates at a bar on the other side of town. They´re a group of 3 Virginia Tech students who rented a car and are drifting to various surf towns. The movie PCU taught me that you have to identify the person in your dorm who has a car4 and become their best friend. I accomplished this and it led me to drive out to some distant beach with them that had the bigger waves. I surfed for a while but I really can´t handle myself on the big ones (let alone the small ones) and we called it quits after 2 hours. At least I got a little tanning in. Sadly the camera ran out of batteries at the beach and I didnt get the surf pics I would have liked so well.

Later on we got some dinner, watched a local soccer game for a while, and drank a bottle of rum that I was really sick of carrying with me. It was really good stuff and I´ll have to bring a bottle back for Derek. I woke up early this morning w/o a serious hangover and hiked 2 miles with my gear to reach my bus to San Jose at the last second. It was a pretty uneventful trip. I went back today beacsue I wasnt sure hpw far I could get today and I wanted to be here for when Samantha flys in tomorrow. Maybe I could have spent one more day at the beach, but whats the sense in risking being late. Anyways, I met some guys and we´re gonna go get some food. ttyl
