11th May 2006

Hola to all around the world.

I've been hanging out in Puerto Escondido for the past 2 weeks. We had one good swell of 8-10ft which stuck arond for 3 days. Anne my wife had a 6 day break from work in Puebla, which is 1hr south of Mexico city and joined me to celerbrate my 34th b-day.

At the moment Ian "Mettie" Metcalf and I are the only Saffas here. Grant "Twiggy" Bakker left on Monday, my birthday. On Sunday nite Papaya Surf Hotel was rocking. I bought 10kg of fresh fish which we braaied and all guest and passer buys devoured in no time and copiaous amounts of alcohol which included a bottel of Mexcal Tequela. Yes, I did consume the worm.

Tomorrow evening a new swell is starting and expect to peak on Saturday at 10ft.
Although the ain't a ton of digital images as I'm still shooting film, I'll do my best to get some shots from other guys to post up.

For now it is just a couple from the best b-day of my life and odd scenic.

Adios amigos!

Duggy
