My host invited me to a surf festival about 45 min north of Lisbon to a place called Ericeira (Ribeira de Ilhas). As we approached, I thought we were in Hawaii, but the landscape looked a lot like San Diego. This place really is the California of Europe.
It looked like a regular old surf festival and I felt so at home, I was almost surprised when everyone started speaking portuguese. This really could have been in Manhattan Beach, it was wierd, but soooo cool at the same time.
The surf wasn't very big, but they still had trouble hauling this big blow up thing out into the water. Then when they got it out there, it popped and deflated. I wish I had video taped them trying to get it back in.
