There has been a lot of surfing competitions in Sayulita since I got here in October. March 7th - 9th was the 5th Annual Punta Sayulita Long Board & Stand-Up Classic.
Partying is fun and great while traveling but what we often miss are the cultural differences in where we are partying and how we are partying. Has tourists partying in the country affected the culture? Is it hurting the economy or helping it?
Last time I tried to dive, I puked. It was in Fiji and the water currents were extremely rough and I was on my way to go diving with sharks. I felt too ill to go diving and I had missed on an opportunity of a lifetime. The opportunity to dive with sharks rose again when I was invited to go shark diving in the Galapagos with Contiki and Céline Cousteau. This time I was going to go to the Galapagos prepared for diving.
Across the street from the Euromast where I went abseiling is the river where you can get on a speedboat, blast some music, and see Rotterdam from a different viewpoint.
