My trip to Troncones

Hello, I'm glad to be back and writing on my blog again after more than 2 months. This time I'm going to write about my trip to Troncones. Troncones is 6 1/2 hours from SMA in the state of Guerrero.  We (my family and our friends the Dutches) went to a beach in Troncones. We went on the beach almost every day.  It had great waves and it was almost completely deserted.  The most people we saw at one time were 10 or 11.  There was one hotel/restaurant called Mi Casa es Su Casa.  It had phenomenal milkshakes.  It's amazing what a good milkshake can do in the humidity. Once, we went to a turtle home where about once every year they release baby turtles into the ocean.  And then you'll never guess what happened next.  As we were walking back to the house along the beach, I almost stepped on a nest full of turtle eggs!  So we went back to the turtle farm and told the man working there and the next morning the eggs were gone.  Earlier that morning some of the kids had gone out horseback riding (not me, I don't like riding much).  I really love the beach because I love to bodysurf.  For those that don't know, the art of body surfing is waiting until a wave comes toward you and then diving into the wave as is demonstrated in the picture above.  If you get the wave right before it crashes it takes you into shore.  But, if it crashes on top of you then you get "churned" (spun around and around and around in the water).  And that should give you an idea of why I like Troncones.  If it doesn't then let me tell you.  To bodysurf you need big waves and in Troncones there are really big waves.  One other reason I liked the beach is because in the house we rented there was a pool which is good after the salt water. But before you go in the pool you have to take an outdoor shower.  On the ride back my dad bought a pack of habnero beef jerky (there should be an nye in there but my computer can't type it). It was my favorite summer vacation yet.
