Surfing ... sort of.

Well, I can stand on a board in white water, but beyond that, I am at a loss. But that´s OK. Boogie boards are fun as well. I found a great spot called Matihlda´s, a camping surfer´s paradise on Playa Madera, 40 bumpy minutes from SJDS. It is beautiful there, and I´m enjoying speaking Spanish and learning about other countries from my fellow travelers. It´s amazing what a few days of hanging out at a beautiful Pacific beach can do for you.
The first few nights I spent $5 to sleep in a hut the size and shape of a doghouse. But I have perservered and moved into a private room with private bath, which is amazing compared to what I have been staying in. It´s still only $15 for a place right on the beach, food included. Wild, eh? Some people love it so much there, they´ve been staying here for 5 months at a time and seem like a regular fixture.
I have to keep it short, hitching a ride back to the beach takes some time. I´m leaving for Leon again in a few days, to do a hike of the Somoto Canyon. It should be swell.
