Bahia Majagual Magic

So, I wanted to continue about my stay at Bahia Majagual. It is the kind of place that you would like to go on a romatic getaway. Or, to go surfing. Since I had good luck with my ONE surfing lesson, I thought I would just rent a board to see how it would go. I ended up playing all afternoon in the whitewash away from the big boys, just trying to stand up. It was pretty tiring. One thing I became frustrated with, however, was the weight and inconvenience of my hair. I tried pulling it back, but it kept falling out. I tried letting it loose, but I thought I would throw my neck out everytime I tried swinging it out of the way. I expressed this frustration at dinner (over a bottle of Flor de Caña) and my new travel buddy, Nate, offered to cut it. He happened to have a pair of scissors in his backpack. Perfect! So we did it. With my hair all stringy, tangled, and wet from the ocean he choppped it off. Only, the scissors he had were those kind elementary school students have with the plastic, brightly-colored handles. But, hey, I wanted my hair cut off and they worked. And, it looks pretty darn good, I must say! It kinda looks like the layered, choppy look. He cut it just above my shoulders...long enough to where I can still pull it back in a ponytail. Unfortunately, I didn´t get to enjoy the lightness of my new do, because the next morning I was catching whitewash (pathetic I know) and the board came down on my head and did something to my neck. It scared me, and I thought I would give the surfing thing a break. My new hairdresser and friends were headed to Granada, and since I now had a bum neck (and they were cool) I decided to join them and leave a day earlier than planned. I´m not giving up on surfing, though! Maybe Syd and I will try it again the next couple of weeks. One last thing. I don´t know if we have this in Florida, but I went for a nighttime swim and the water was filled with these bioluminescence things floating everywhere. I just sat there waving my arms back and forth in the water watching them light up all around me. It was so cool. Do we have those anywhere in the states?
