No surfing for me

So am now in a place called Dominical whose raison d'etre appears to be all about the surfing...which would be great with my new found passion, but the rip tides and currents are really strong here so have decided i am too scared to go in the water! Have been playing around in the waves in the shallow bits but thats enough for me! Alas, my surfing career is over before it started properly

Having fun though. Have managed to meet up with a couple of english people, a swede and a girl from canada so we are hanging out and having a good time. Today has been particularly productive with a short hike and then an extended period of time lazing in this amazing river that is just behind dominical. Its the end of the river where it meets the sea, but at low tide it is cut off so really calm, and as its a bit salty its so easy to float. Had the most relaxing time floating and swimming and playing around.....now just have to wait for the horrible disease i am almost certain to get! Off to walk to a waterfall tomorrow and then moving to another beach town called Uvita which is meant to be nicer for swimming in the sea.
