Well peeps its been a great few days since last I blogged. I've been chillin like a villain in Samara. Ben was a day late getting in so Kurt, Jules and I whipped Krystal back home to Coco last Friday and Ben ended up coming by cab on the Saturday. We've been having a blast. Surfing together and hanging with the community. It's amazing how everyone around here knows one another. What's funny is that even though Ben was not here for my first week I ended up meeti...

Hello fellow sports fans! Long lost Dan here.

Pura Vida as is the local way. The pure...

I wish they had that on some of our back country bridges. ...

Through customs and i was free. i met up with my pre-arranged cab driver for the hour and a half ride into Samara. Heilar ...

I left Madrid early this morning and flew to Gatwick for the night then it is off the fresh air and open spaces of HOME! I was actually quite impressed with the little bit of Madrid that i saw. The Metro was the cleanest one I've seen on my whole trip and efficient. I would like to explore Madrid more the next time i am in Spain. I'm lucky that the bed didnt start on fire when i took that picture; those are my Barcelona away and Madrid at home jerseys. See yo...
