thinking of checking out a different area tomorrow morning

there is a right called something like keramas, sort of newly discussed... since no one reads this, i suppose i am not letting out a secret... course i read about it online, so am sure it is way more widely known than i lead on... --this reminds me of talking about a secret spot in nicaragua during the last trip, course turned out there were about 7 boats at the place, and 50 or so pricks bobbing around there... well, hopefully that will not be the case tomorrow... and hopefully the place is cool, i am not sold on this area just yet, would be nice to find somewhere a little less trampled upon (course i am staying right in the heart of things here)... the good thing about trampled places is the availability of internet everywhere...
had a bunch of surfs at the local beach (including overhead today - riding the 5-6!!!), but i need some quality (more parathesis! - been staying away from the better known spots not to be discussed by the crowds...)... but i need to start shooting more, maybe tomorrow, maybe not though - not sure where i can keep the camera while surfing there...

what else... just had a great meal - fish, shrimp, and squid, all perpared differently all quite tasty... and some nice rice...
and a good lunch - nasi campor, veggie - first tempeh meal since ive been here...

pretty wild, watching the surf contest in france, typing this mostly to the 1 person (my mom! - hey mom, as you know, doing well..) in the us that reads this, while laying on a couch in the bar at the hotel im staying, drinking a bintag basar... oh yeah, in the next room, sports from all over the world on the tvs in the bar...
