New Years

Check out this old VW van, there is no spair tire on the front.
But there is a grill, radiator and electric fan, in a steel ring
with a vinyl tire cover. Investigating further, climbing
under the back end, I see it has some water cooled V6.
For those that don't know, these old vans were stricktly air
cooled, which was both the best, and their downfall at the same
time. Although more power required more cooling, air cooling
is limited, especially in Mexico temperatures. I can see why they
did this here, and it is a very good disguise.

Funny my computer has switched its self to spanish, wile I
am here, without doing anything. As long as it switches
its self back I guess it is kind of cool.

We got some good sun today on the beach all morning
watching the surfers. I am going to try to surf tomorrow.

I love how the bathrooms here don't even give you an option
to dry your hands, or especailly hot water. It is so hot
you don't need eather.

The morning Lattes ended up costing just about as much as
lunch at $2.50. We found a very nice resteraunt we have
been regulars at, with the $3 chicken burger and fries, or
monster barito and salad.

For the afternoon we looked at realestate in Sayulita. It
all seems over priced, even on the outskirts of town, where
it smells like there is no sewer system, it can cost $85k
for just a few thousand square feet of land. This is a real
hot surfing destination though.

Every place we look at, I get excited about the potential of
having a place to lock the dune buggy up and leave it down
here. Sayulita there are so many cars you really appreciate
the quads and golf carts when your walking. With cars parked
on both sides of the street, there really isn't room for
the traffic. Then store owners have taken over the side
walks and so you are forced to walk on the street, and stop
between parked cars to let cars pass.

I acctually don't even like it much here, but Michelle
loves the ocean, so I will put in anoter day here. If I can
surf it might be more fun.

We met a friend from 2 years ago, I think it was the first
day we were here. He was camping in his van 2 years ago,
But he liked it so much he bought a place 2 houses from the
ocean, and he has been here ever since. He isn't having a
new years party, but we shouldn't have much trouble finding
one.

6pm now and we are already half way through our liter of rum,
so we did an emergency run to get another liter. They stop
selling here at 9pm, the way we are going we won't be in any
shape to go at 8:30.

Been hangin out w our brit freinds and an Ausy. The brits
bought their motor home in the states, for their 365 day tour
now they want to sell and go home. Very tempting for us.
Regaurdless they are lots of fun. Think we will be sticking
w them for our last night in Sayulita.

Sounds like Josh might not make it now, work calls. I borrowed
his surf board today, and kicked ass. Got the shit kicked out
o me too. Our friend said today is not a day to learn, waves
are way too steep, but I caught one which was total vicotry.
