You've inspired me-- next time I'm going someplace else! Talpa looked wonderful, and Lake Chapala too.
I'm going to stop telling people how great tejuino is. I love it, have one every Sunday at the market in Loreto, but no one else has felt the same.
Does your wife's family like it? |
Thanks Paula. I just now realized I posted a damn long trip report with probably too many pictures! Took me forever to scroll down the page!
Anyway....
The Tejuino wasn't bad, but I didn't have the urge to finish it. Maybe it was just a bad Tejuino stand. I don't think any of my wife's family tried
one - maybe they drink them in private. 
Talpa was cool. Cocula was great, and Chapala was definitely a must see.
Oaxaca rules too......I was down in Salina Cruz area a few years ago.

Jon says: Indeed it is! I busted a Rick James longboard on my 3rd wave at Puerto back in 1997. What was I thinking taking a 10'0" out?

Pta Chacahua (5-20-87... 25 years ago last week) an hour north from Puerto. then an hour boat ride thru flamingo infested mangroves. there was an
alligator farm right at the mouth (but still inside) of the lagoon.
Great Times, Thanks for the ride(s).....

Very nice. Woody, something tells me you'll win in a surf photo/trip competition. I got Oaxaca and Baja and that's about it. Half of my surfing
lifetime I didn't believe in photos and was on a Carlos Castaneda anti photograph trip. No self important photos! Oh how dumb I was......I threw away
tons of photos in a dumpster in Golden Hill. My kids would probably love to have those back.

yeah, i had a jvc video camera back then and had hours of this stuff from our trips. we did 6 straight summers in puerto from 86-91. we'd swing
hammers all winter and take off for 2-4 weeks each summer. it seems like so long ago!
i won't go back as i'd not recognize the place, plus i don't have the guns to ride them waves (but i do have the rhino chaser i used to ride mounted
on my living room wall!) anymore. i had my bite of the apple. times change and so does the equipment.
plus, baja is so much closer. mama doesn't like the hobo camping in the dirt so that allows me to get some waves in those outta the way places a
couple of times a year.
and i tell ya what. i wouldn't change a minute of it.....

Woody,
You're making me want a surf trip ASAP. We need to hook up. That last pic is a total barrel setup. That shoulder is getting ready. Stick that rail
in the face.
This Winter we shall connect......or Summer.
Like you said, times change, I can understand that.............
Baja seems to be the best chance..........
Later.
