After a few days here I forgot where I left off, but you haven’t seen the place yet, so here it is.

Everybody hangs out on the porch.  That’s the owner, Russ, leaning on the column.

And, I know there were better waves than this, but this is what I caught on the camera. The swell is coming in now, and this place is getting busier and busier as word gets out. We have camera men getting their gear ready, there are boards everywhere you look, and the talk is “all surf”.

Another claim to fame is that during the filming of “Survivor Panama”, the Swiss team came here to stay for a while. The owners’ son, Ray, was part of the studio crew for that season, so that is how they heard of this place.

Today, for a break, we went up the volcano here to a place they call “Laguna”. Just a little spot the locals know, and don’t tell too many people about.  We went in Phil’s 4×4, as there was no way I would be able to get there in my car.

What a cool place. Way up in the mountains, at the end of some really bad road, was this.

A quiet little lake sitting in the bottom of the old crater, all you could hear was the sounds of the land around you. There was a little bit of garbage, but not much, and there were some fish in the lake that sat near the shore until you walked close. Then they would all squirt away in a frenzy.

It was a helluva drive to get up there, but I’m glad we went (as usual).

Not much else to add today. Just chillin’.
