Where am I now? - Richmond, Virginia.
Now the only set plan I have at the moment is to move up to Wintergreen Resort in Nellysford, Virginia this coming Thursday. My family has a house up on the mountain and I am going to live there while I work at Freestyle [Your Source for Adrenaline Sports!] the ski and snowboarding shop in the mountain inn. I will be working there full time till near the end of March. Hopefully I will make enough money to kick off this whole traveling the world gig.
After I go back to California for a week to visit my aunt and uncle and their daughter, J, who is more like a little sister to me, I will be on my way back to Costa Rica [hopefully]! I've been to Costa Rica twice before and I have developed this attachment to Jaco. I can't really say what makes it so special for me for I know a lot of people dish on Jaco, saying it is dirty and what not but I think it is beautiful! Maybe it is the people I met there. Maybe it is the place I stayed. [School of the World, if you are ever in Jaco, Costa Rica you MUST look it up and stay there! It is the best place on earth!] Maybe it is the Pura Vida! Whatever it is, Costa Rica is now like a drug to me! I just can't get enough of the country!
If we were all sitting around a fire and someone asked me to tell all my stories from my time in Costa Rica, they would make my face hurt because I would be beaming with joy! The memories are what I cherish most from the surfing with [changing the names because I haven't asked for permission to write about them yet] Ken, Richard, Tom, Jerry, and Gus to hanging out with G.
One day we were out surfing and Richard was my instructor. The waves were decent size about 4 to 6 feet and I was doing terrible! I kept falling off my board, I could even really catch a wave to fall off of in the first place. To say the least I was getting a lil pissed at my self. Then the Spartan came out of nowhere and stole the one wave I was able to stand up on! I think my face was red I was so mad. Richard was just chuckling on his board but caught the next wave before I could glare at him. Then to send me over the top, the Spartan comes to close to me and when a big wave came his board hit me! Oh I was so furious I swear I was like one of those cartoons that had steam fuming out their ears. Richard comes to me [which by now I am blatantly irritated and angry] to help me catch a wave. I told him what happened and he just kinda smirked, grab my board and flipped it, submersing me into the water! You could imagine how angry and shocked I was. I came up and Richard looked at me with a smile and said "You needed to cool off." And just like that I did. I couldn't be mad anymore after that. I ended up catching the next wave. To this day that story still makes me chuckle.
