Familiar territory

After a long days travel, I finally made it to Dominical yesterday. I was lucky to stumble upon a German couple who wanted to take a cab. I said the max I'd pay was $5. The cab fare ended up being $34, though, but the German guy, Max, said that I could pay $5. Hell yeah, I'll jump on that deal!

I am staying at Hostel Pyramis, which, Sean and I saw when we were in Dominical before. It looked kind of sketchy. But in reality, I have a private room with private bath, and it is a neat place. The guy who runs it is an artist, so he paints a lot. And all of the rooms are painted up. It has a nice vibe to it. And for $20 for the private, it is quite a good price, especially here in Dominical. I think I will be spending my weekends here!

It is good to be back in Dominical. Familiar territory. Nice people. Good vibe...

I bought a surfboard today. Yup, I did it! I got a smoking deal from a guy who sells used boards here. I got a 6' shortboard, with fins, leash, and a bag, for $120. At the end of my trip, I will sell it. And he said he'd even buy it back for half. Given that rentals are $20/day, and that I will be doing a lot of surfing from now until the end of my trip, and probably will spend all of my weekends in Dominical...I will end up paying a ton for rental. So that works out well.

I went surfing today, and of course, it kicked my ass. The waves here are bigger than they were when I was here before. And I chopped my chin on the board trying to duck under the whitewater...still trying to figure that part out! But it was good.

Ahhhh...so good to be back in Dominical!!!
