Finally found out what to do in town besides surf. Last night some of the Israeli guys staying here brought me to island vibes, a backpacker hangout popular with the stinky Europeans. Had fun but stayed out to late especially for the projected 6 am wakeup call this morning. The surf was super fun this morning right at day break and I surfed for about 3 hours. Got my first barrel of the trip. Probably doesn’t mean that much to most of you. After the surf met some real cool people from Cape Town that are staying at the surf packers hostel. They offered a room to me within the next month if I wanted to go to Cape Town and they live right by the beach so that might be an option maybe a couple weeks down the road. I also traveled about 45 minutes down the coast with a surfer mag. photographer that was sent here to do a portrait of the area for a surf book. Real informative guy. we went to seal point to check the waves looked real good but no one out and is known top be one of the sharkiest places is s.a. so I decided to not go out. I know that just stoked my mom. I think i am starting to fight a sinus infection so i might sleep the rest of the day because i feel like crap. Town and surf is very crowded today because of a national holiday Women’s Day. What is that all about?! Haha just kidding, it is a new holiday to celebrate the hard working women in this country. Just another excuse to not do any work. Included some photos of last night and today. All around j bay except for the last one at seal point. From now on i might just put all my photos in my photo library on this sight so check that out. Well hope everyone is doing well and i know most are starting school again or getting ready top. IM SORRY that sucks i bet you you would rather be looking over the ocean and having all the time in the world to do just about nothing . Enjoy every bit of life no matter what conditions it brings. Adios nick
