From the ferry on the ride over

It was raining a little this morning when we got up. We went to breakfast, and then came back up to the room to get ready. We went to Manly Beach via a ferry (this looked like a very huge boat to me) and I got a lot of photos on the way. It was very foggy, and misty at times. When we got over to the beach, we went to surf school! This was a lot of fun, but the undertow was very strong and I did not really want to venture far out. I did stand up on the board a few times, and so did Bryon. The water started to get really rough, and we had to drag out surf boards that were made of waterlogged foam all the way down the beach back to the hut. That was not fun, they are really very heavy and for that distance....I was not able to get surfing pictures due to the fact we were in the water, but got some pre-pictures. After surfing, we walked down to a restaurant called Emporium that had really good local food. We ordered the gnocchi pasta salad, a turkey sandwich with sun dried tomatoes and avocado on it, as well as a corn and sweet chili fritter. The fritter was by far our favorite of the the three.
