On the way home

On my way home today….es muy bueno para me. No me gusta long trips away from the wife and kids. However the fact remains that I had a wonderful time.

Something aside from the surfboard has made a mark on me here in Costa Rica. I broke down a wall of fear that I have had for way to long. My friend and brother Darin, showed me how to relax a bit, not something I have been very good at. I have had in the past a few run-ins with “locals” or shall we say street drunks, that have not always been pleasant…..somewhere along the line that turned in to fear. A few nights ago we sat on the beach for a bon-fire with the local artists and surfers. Drumming, lightning a few k. off the beach….I relaxed finally.

All day yesterday, down-shift to further relaxation…and back to work soon.
