okay sun, you win

buenos dias!
so here we are, ready to roll out, finally. after far longer than anticipated here in el sargento, just outside la paz, we are outta here this morning. jumping on a 6 hour ferry ride to the mainland and then driving on down the coast. a lot has changed in the last week. schedules being the biggest. we have come up with at least 4 different itineraries, so you never really know for sure. we got one together seconds later i get an email from mr brad bogardus stating that he and one timothy hussion would be in mazatlan with their respective others march 26- april 1. well, you know we cant let them have a peaceful getaway with their ladies so we had to make that happen. we will be crashing that on monday, and perhaps tuesday. that is how solid our schedule is.
so the biggest observation for me over the last few days came in the realization that i will not make it to nicaragua. bummer yes, but the time frame i am working with will not allow it. nick is in no hurry to get there as he hopes to take full advantage of his travels by seeing all that he can between the united states and nica. and who could blame him. i however am unemployed, lacking limitless funds, and have a beautiful girl i wish to return to. so what i am seeing in my future includes the remainder of mexico, perhaps including the yucatan peninsula and then guatemala. there is still an off chance i may also make it into el salvador, but that would require and even longer stay. and as i have not yet booked my flight home, oh the possibilities!
all that aside, the trip fires up now. fire up! fire up! (that is for hutch and the wagon). anyway tomorrow we hit the mainland. mazatlan, puerto vallarta, zihuatenejo, acapulco, and so on. basically surfing, surfing and surfing. oh yes, and its spring break too. we had to cut out mexico city and i am indifferent about it. biggest city in the world = cool to see, but also cool to avoid. it leaves more beach time anyway, which is never a bad idea. so that is all. yep. thats it. now i am going to shave off this ridiculous beard, call the lady, and try to book a flight home. not necessarily in that order. but what follows that today will be beer, a big ass boat and 6 hours at sea. yeah.

hope everyone is grrrreat just like tony-
