Algonas veces me gosta tomo cerveza
Well tonight is the night that we've all been waiting for... especially my mom and dad who are worried sick about my coming down with yellow fever etc.
approx. 9pm is departure time for Mexico! The first town i will be staying in is just a little south of Ensenada and the surf break is called Las Gaviotas which means 'the sea gulls' (at least thats what i got from the dictionary, any corrections are greatly appreciated;).
I have no idea what access to the net will look like during the next couple of days on Baja California... I hope to be able to get something on this blog as soon as pos.
Here's a pic of Gerrald and I. The surfer whom I was lucky enough to meet on the bus as his family accomodated me for the past week.
The waves at this beach are absolute. Almost like the Vodka
There is a program which is based in Phoenix, Arizona. It's called the flying Samaritans and it's a whole bunch of ppl who volunteer to help out in various parts of Mexico and central america... the volunteers are flown from place to place in these little bush planes and the whole thing just sounds like something I'd really love to be doing... I sent an email out and was told that if i got to Phoenix tomorrow I could join them on there next mission to loreto for just 70USD.. thats by far the best price for any volunteer program I have come across, but sadly i Wouldnt get to Phoenix on time... Mom and dad, I'll have to come back next year.

"From the home office in Rochester, Minn., the Mayo Clinic's Top 10 Healthy Foods list
02/08/2006 7:54:00 PM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(CP) - The famed Mayo Clinic has released its top 10 list of healthy foods.
Here, in alphabetical order, are the Mayo's picks, drawn up at the home office in Rochester, Minn.
Apples: Apples are a good source of pectin, a fibre that lowers cholesterol and glucose levels. Apples are also a good source of vitamin C, an important antioxidant that helps the body absorb iron and folate.
Almonds: Full of fibre, riboflavin, magnesium, iron, calcium and vitamin E, these nuts are good for the heart. And most of the fat in almonds is monounsaturated, which can help lower bad cholesterol levels when substituted for other fats.
Broccoli: While not appreciated by the first President Bush, this vegetable contains calcium, potassium, folate, fibre and phytonutrients - compounds that may help prevent diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. It also contains the antioxidant beta-carotene and is an excellent source of vitamin C.
Blueberries: These berries are a low-calorie source of fibre, antioxidants and phytonutrients; they may improve short-term memory and reduce cell damage linked to aging.
Red beans: Small red, pinto and kidney - red beans are an excellent low-fat source of antioxidants, protein, dietary fibre, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and thiamine.
Salmon: This popular fish is a terrific source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to provide heart benefits. It's low in saturated fat and cholesterol and is a good source of protein. The Mayo suggests choosing wild salmon, if possible, as it is less likely to contain unwanted chemicals such as mercury.
Spinach: Popeye's favourite is high in vitamin A, and is a solid source of calcium, folate, iron, magnesium, riboflavin and vitamins B-6 and C. The plant compounds spinach contains may boost the immune system and help prevent certain types of cancer.
Sweet potatoes: High in beta-carotene and vitamin C, sweet potatoes are also a good source of fibre, vitamin B-6 and potassium and are fat-free and relatively low in calories.
Vegetable juice: An easy way to inject vegetables into a diet, vegetable juices contain most of the same vitamins, minerals and other nutrients the source vegetables do. Tomato juice, and vegetable juices which include tomatoes, are good sources of lycopene - an antioxidant that may lower the risk of heart attack and certain cancers. Low-sodium varieties are best.
Wheat germ: A concentrated source of nutrients, two tablespoons provide thiamine, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. Can be worked into a diet as a topping for cereals, yogurt and salads, or an ingredient baked into muffins, cookies and pancakes."
