A Good, Good Day

There was a bit a swell from the typhoon that's in the Philipines, so of course I was at the beach. I got up at 6:30 (which was too late of a start.) at drove up the coast. I hoping the swell wasn't too big yet so I could surf but by the time I got there the wind had picked up and made surfing conditions not ideal. So I decieded to take pictures on my way home. I stopped for coffee and then met some friends to go to "the river". It was nice... until I saw a snake... then I wanted out. It was little but none the less I wasn't sticking around to chat. Then when we got back I decieded that I would try a sunset surf session if the wind had died down. I checked my normal spot at it looked good. Not to big and crazy. I paddled out but got a little freaked out by the set waves. (I have a bit of fear left over from my surfing accident a few years ago.) I forced myself to sit it out and not panic. I made myself caught and ride one wave in. The current was strong and so I decieded to call it a day. I went futher up to watch the guys surf a shallow reef break. It was barreling and fun to watch. These are two pictures from there and one on the drive home. The last one is of some boats on a lake. It was this time last year that my roommate, friend and I almost died while "borrowing" one of the boats. Someone through a coconut over the bridge I am standing on at in nearly hit us by 20 feet.
