Hola to you all..,thanks again for the feedback, don't worry if its only trivia, I love to hear about the shitty weather and the boring office...no, seriously, always good just to know someones out there, like a DJ on the graveyard shift, you've gotta have someone acknowledge your existence every now and again..<br />..so....it was good to get back on the bike after a coupla days in Acapulco.....and after the fantastic help from our friends at Motomar changing the tyres and oil, that was such a cool break, unbelievable, We were given T-shirts and key ring bizzos, I gave the boss my gold kangaroo pin and an AUS sticker..we'll be passing on his address to any bikes we see on the road for sure.....

We're all just animals after all

out of the sand but no, alls well...they don't have the flexibility of the frigate gulls ..they change course in the middle of a dive, twisting, adjusting wing angle, cutting back, tracking some little whitebait..then in they go, much more streamlined....but the old, lumbering pelican just picks a fish and everythings locked in, straight down, hardly graceful and looking evermore ungainly, sort of prehistoric , teradactylish...but later, along the beach with huge swells rolling in there'll be a line of them just sailing under the very tip of the breaker as it feathers along the top, with barely a movement they follow the wave just keeping ahead of where it crashes down, there seems to be an updraught up the face of the wave and they push the envelope with wing tips that must brush ever so lightly the fine spray off the top...just escaping the gigantic crashing behind them....and not even acknowledging their feat...haha nearly said feet!...hey its about a million degrees in this sweat house alright?.....then they lift over and swoop into the next trough, and up the face...its so cool to watch...higher up they travel in groups and change formation like the Roulettes...dunno why, but they'll be all in a line, then they go to big V , then diamond pattern...have they been watching re-runs of Blue Angels or vice versa?
Then there are a squillion other birds, little black birds like smaller versions of wattle birds, hopping around always with their beaks open ? and a bright little chirp...
Vultures, eagles, I think we've been there..at the end of a road along the beach at some deserted playa we turned off to visit, we followed the dirt road along the beach front, throuh palm plantations with a crude concrete aqueduct that ran for a k or 2 then sort of stopped...at the end of the road, at the lagoon, just past the turtle research place...(the word is that some of the turtle research is similar to the Japanese whale research...they're just trying ...
