A few funny things

One thing I forgot to write about jose in my last post was that after a week of traveling with us back to his house in Cabo San Lucas, when we arrived there were people staying there that he didn't know. We showed up, he went in & argued with them some of which I understood and then he left to sleep in the back of my truck for another night. Only in Mexico, well maybe. I guess he paid someone to take care of his place & he came back earlier than he said since he got a ride with us. He's not like on email or chat or anything so nobody knew he was coming back & the guy he paid to watch his place rented it out to some other people. And becuase he doesn't email or anything he came back & was asking around for his girlfriend who apparently went to Acapulco for "1 months or 2 months" as he said to me. Funny stuff. Speaking of funny, I'm traveling with 2 central american guys who don't eat mexican salsa, ever. If it has "picante" (spice) in it, they won't touch it so they ask for ketchup & mayonnaise at every taco stand which, of course, gets them odd stares & smiles. Then the gringo guy, me, eats the mexican salsa on everything. I can't get over it & have to give Ricardo crap every time he puts salsa tomate on shrimp tacos which is like 10 times a day because he eats a lot of tacos, I've got pictures to prove him pouring ketchup on them. Speaking of pictures, I have so many good ones but haven't been at an internet with my laptop to upload. I just got lucky to find wireless once with my iphone to upload a couple but I hadn't taken many with that. Yesterday morning the waves were tiny so this local fisherman took Ricardo & I out on his boat to go see whales, something I've been wanting to do. He brought a couple serious fishing rods and we fished first. The second my line hit the water, I had a bite & so did Ricardo. We pulled in like 6 mackeral (sp?) each with in about 30 minutes which was a lot of work. Then off to track down some ballenas, whales, which were amazing. They are so huge, breaching and spitting, and we got within about 10 yards of a bunch of them. Good pics to follow for sure. After that we decided to leave San Blas & head south in search for better surf options. We drove through Puerto Vallarta which is gringo central, has like outback steakhouses & I think I saw 10 senior frogs while driving through. Ricardo drove like fast & furious because we're not doing any driving at night and we had a timezone change & were trying to make it to Pascuales, we're I'm at now. But we ended up having to stop in Manzanillo which has walmarts, boarger king (as pronounced by my travelling buds) and places like that. We went into walmart which was funny & the other thing about my non salsa eating friends is they want to go to bourger king or mccy D's the couple of times (cabo san lucas & here) that we've passed them. Which I'm so against. But last night it was already dark, we didn't know where we were going to stay & everyone was really hungry so I got convinced to eat at KFC. It was terrible, I ate about half a sandwich to suppress the appetite & tossed the rest in the trash. Guess what next, I woke up at 4 am puking my guts out, or the kfc out, and have been sick every since. I've been vomitting all morning, had to stop the car on the way here to vomit on the road. Seems kind of strange I've eaten octapus ceviche made on the beach by a guy who didn't shower all week, have eaten at taco stands on the side of dirt roads daily & the place that ruins me is KFC. I will not be doing that again, if they want booarger king I'm just going to wait it out for a dirty little taco stand on the side of the road. Anyways, we got to Pascuales which has heaving barrels that look pretty hard to make & I'm stuck in the bathroom while the boyz got to surf. I even ran a fever that I've just recently sweated out. Atleast this room, on the beach with air conditioning is only costing us 27 dollars for the night....I didn't want to camp being sick & 27 divided by 3 is something I think we can splurge on, and the amigos agreed. Hopefully I'll be back in action soon, I realllllly need exercise because it's been about 2 or 3 days now with nada. Oh & to add insult to injury I've been dealing with kidney stone pains while being sick all night & day. Oh well, I'll survive I guess. We're going to head south towards a surf camp spot called La Ticla, probably tomorrow, hopefully I'll be ready to get back into action. Mas tarde
