We spent the last part of the time that Dave and Eben were here on the Caribbean coast, enjoying some serious beach time at Puerto Viejo. The one thing the kids had asked to do was to learn to surf. So the first day, they got a lesson from Herschel, a local guy with a big smile and a love of surfing. Marie and Eben took to it right away—they practiced the surfer stance on land, then went in to try it on the boards. Both of them were riding the waves within the first couple of tries. The waves were small but kept coming, so Herschel helped them with the timing, giving them a little push. By the end of the lesson, they were jumping up to turn themselves around on the board. Even watching from the shore was pretty fun. Now the kids will have to teach the parents.
