Hey, whatsup?

First of all congrats to all the Spanish people who read this, because we are the European Champions again!!! yuuhhhuuuu!!! :)

As I told you I went to Portugal for the weekend, but got back in time yesterday to watch the game at home!! :) it was great to see all the people with Spanish flags, clothes,... I know this not help us with our problems, but seriously, it makes us a bit happier :)!

The weekend was great! :) We had waves both days, and although it was a bit windy, at some tide points the waves were actually really good! :) Here you have some pics from the weekend! :)

It is always nice to look through the window of your room for the first time and see this wonderful view!! :)

The fortress! :)

At the beach!

Beautiful views! Mareta beach

  

Portugal here I come!

I finally have a weekend to go to Portugal!!  yuhhuuu!!!! great beaches, great weather, great people, great food... = great weekend!! :)

I went a few months ago with two friends and finally I am coming back!! It looks like there are going to be good waves and, although it might be a bit windy, we will find somewhere to have some good surfing for sure!! :)

enjoy your weekend!!

Thank you sooo muchhh!!!!

Hii!!!!!! 


This post is just to say THANK YOU!!!! thank you for all your best wishes for my birthday (i know facebook helps a lot with this, but it still takes a minute to say write "happy birthday" in my wall), so THANK YOUUUUU!!!! 


I got around 100 "happy birthdays" yesterday.. it was INCREDIBLEE!!! seriously I felt (and still feel) so greatful and lucky to have you all around me... 


from those who have known me all my life (my family, old friends), till the ones that barely know me... THANK YOU to u all...


I also wanted to share with you some of the congratulations and presents I received yesterday. The day started really well with me receiving a postcard from a good friend from the other part of the world!! (thanks Tony!!!)

then I went to the swimming pool at around 7:30 in the morning and the machine at the entrance told me to have a good day in my birthday!! that was soo funny!!! haha 


Afterwards, I went to work and what was my surprise when I arrived at work and I already had a bunch of congrats in my facebook wall, wa, and emails!!! :) from those who have known me "forever" and call me "mariquilla", from those who know me from surfing and  call me "surfer", from those who call me "itsusi", or even those who call me by my name "María" hehe

however, and sorry for the rest, but the best happy birthday wishes came from this little one who still doesn't even call me anything...

                                       

I also got some birthday presents and they were great!

                                       

                                       

And of course a piece of birthday cake!! :)

Finally, to have a good end of the day I went for dinner with my parents  

not a bad day i would say!! :) hehehhehehe

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING ME SOO HAPPY THIS DAY!!!

have a great day!!

Hand-fixed :)

Hi!!!! :)

I went home for the weekend, to spend some time with my family and friends which is always great! we celebrated San Juan at the beach, making our wishes, jumping the fire and getting into the water at 00:00 o'clock! :)

But, in my free time I also tried to fix one of my old boards. I really like this board because it is the one I used when I won my first surf contest :). I broke it last year in Maldivas and I hadn't fixed it since then, however, this weekend I decided it was time to do it (or at least try to do it :)). 

I love doing these things myself, but this was a hard one, it was half-way broken and I have never fixed such a whole. Anyways, I watched some youtube videos on how this can be done, asked my friend Juan (thanks for your comments and for the material) and tried my best (I didn't have time to finish it, but it is half way done now :)). At least the board looks much stronger than before :)

Take a look....

Sanding...

               

 Filling it with fiberglass

Now time to leave it dry... I will be back with it and show you how it ends :) hehehe :)

nice day!
