MONTANITA: SURF TOWN

HELLO ALL!
wELL THIS LITTLE �FISHING� (SURFING) TOWN HAS BEEN A VERY NICE CHANGE SINCE
ThE CITY. tHIS `PLACE IS ALL ABOUT SURFING AND PARTYING... sO FAR I HAVE
TAKEN A BIT OF A SURFING LESSON FROM A GIRL I HAVE MET HERE THAT TEACHES
SURFING IN cALIFORNIA. SO FAR MY LESSON WAS ALL ON THE BOARD ON LAND AS SHE
WAS TEACHING SOME ONE ELSE AND I AM A BIG CHICKEN. i DID SPLASH AROUND IN
THE WATER WHICH SEEMED VERY WARM TO ME BUT NOT SO WARM TO THE LOCALS.

THE FOOD HERE IS AMAZING.

cEVICHE... A LEMON AND CELANTRO MERINATED FISH IS AWSOME!... I HAVE ALSO HAD
MOROCAN FOOD, AND CHOCATE BANANA PANCAKES AT A RESTAURANT CALLED THE FUNKY
MONKEY. tHEY HAVE THE MOST AMAZING HOT CHOCOLATE THAT I HAVE HAD IN ALONG
TIME... THE KIND THAT YOU COOK ON THE STOVE THAT IS RATHER BITTER... yummy!

mY HOTEL IS A BIT LOUD AS MY BALCONY IS RIGHT ABOVE THE MAIN PARTY STREET,
BUT I HAVE EAR PLUGS SO THAT WAS OKAY... LAST NIGHT WE ( ursella-california,
jardine-amsterdam, marco-swiss, and noemie�s jorge) enjoyed live music and
dancing on the beach.

It is good to be with a group as the men are pretty forward but not really
rude. One thing that was funny was that so many people were cold on the
beach... sweaters and jeans... crazy!!! it is not hot, but it is NOT that
cold either!!! shorts and t-shirt maybe!!!

any way this key board is awful so i will write more later...

Much love. and miss you all...

I had shrimp cevieche in Hawaii. It was fanastic. Lime and coconut. I think it means the meat is "cured" in the acidic juices rather then cooked.

miss you! Chloe-0
