Bruised Ribs and Scorpion Stings

hello and welcome, and thanks for reading. so we spent a couple days in this tiny village outside of puerto vallarta called yelapa. this village is only accessible via water taxi as there are no roads in. they have only gotten power in the last 4 years. very interesting. so after our stay there we moved down the coast through a couple little surf spots only to find incredibly huge waves. far to big for our intermediate skills. while staying the night at a surf camp called nexpa, we met a couple from colorado who had a similar camper/truck set up and had been traveling for the past 10 months. good advice came in the form of a surf spot a little further south called saladita. this place is a dream spot for surfers. unfortunately i had taken a tumble surfing a couple days prior and banged up my ribs. pretty good too. so this past 3 days i have only been able to view the great surf, not partake. pretty bummed. make that really bummed. i tried to go our the other day but the pain was a little more than i could stand. so here i am reading maxim and soaking up the sun, while taking in a few beers. last night nick and i went out for a little night life. though none was to be had. we found a little bar with ping pong and as nick went to get the ball he got tagged by a scorpion. this little guy got him right in the foot. the local woman assured that he would be okay, that it is just painful. the venom made its way up his leg causing significant pain through the night and into today. enough that he skipped his morning surf. so neither of us are surfing this morning thus we are going to pack up and go south again. this time its to the southern end of acapulco. hopefully my ribs allow me to surf again in the next few days.
for those who dont know yet, i am coming home. its offical. i bought the ticket a couple days ago. april 25th out of guatemala city. i know i know. thats not nicaragua. but i cant stay away the time that would be required to get there. our agenda is very up in the air and i dont even know what i will see in the last 19 days of this trip, but what i can count on is that i will be in guatemala by the time my flight leaves.
so that is all my friends. take it easy, i am.
cheers-
