So, after 3 months back in the US, I finally made it "home" to Nicaragua. Today was my first day back in the water and I'm not sure I can even describe the pleasant familiarity of it all. While everything else in life seems to happen so fast, somehow being in the ocean filters out the noise and reminds me why I'm here - if only for just a few moments. For this, today was a godsend. This is me, too far in front of the curl, trying to remember how to surf.
