We are enjoying the beach, the people, and the cheap food of Arugam Bay. Nice Breakfast 600 rupiah = 5 bucks to feed 4.
Tuesday has arrived so quickly. Yes, the sun is rising to begin another day. But today for the first time, we are experiencing a Indian Ocean Sunrise. Just saying the words makes this travel romantic feeling like I am some where new rush through my soul. Have I been here before? I am looking. 44. Arugam Bay. Sri Lanka. A beautiful beach with extremely powerful surf and clear water – the color that you want your water to be. Island water color. Not Borneo Brown. Our place is only 50 meters from the beach. The waves can be heard crashing through the night. A small village is here with the local people running guesthouses, restaurants, small markets, surfboard rentals, and of course transportation with tuk-tuk drivers with the classic “beep” sound that I have heard all too many times now. BEEP – meaning, “Hello foreigner, I am driving close to you if you if you want to move out of the way or if you want a ride.” A nice small quaint village. Families still living in close quarters with the used to be family housing that has been turned into guesthouses by the business minded ones. This is how all the small, fishing turned surfing villages started. And growth, big growth will eventually come to this beautiful place. The sun is out, but not hot yet – 8:05 AM. Ezra and Viena woke up on Malaysian time, but not too early. Now, as I write, Ezra and Viena are coloring themselves dark with the sand on the beach. The waves just keep pouring in. This is not a kid friendly surf, but then again, we are all not kids – just kids at heart. I am going to try and rent a boogie board and fins later to test out the waves. Oh yeah! the waves are more than ride-able. Check.
